Lady Dre reviews gig at the curve bar 25th Oct. '07

If you weren't at the Curve Bar I hope you were at St. Mary's Art Centre because there's no other good reason to miss the Bad Terrorists debut gig.

The three piece warmed up with a 'Chemtrails' a track that is driven with noisy rythm guitar and lyrics inspired by a conspiracy theory about unusual cloud formations. This was followed by several numbers with a military theme; 'Don the Cammo', 'Friendly Fire' then 'Fingernail Factory' that paid homage to the Banana Splits.

Bruce on the bass was cool and steady later confessed he'd had to keep still because he couldn't see as he was wearing non-prescription sunglasses with hologram eyeballs.

Barry on drums was an overnight sensation with his 2 drum song solos. This was followed with 50 seconds of exhilharating punk sound in 'Nothing', that left the audience gasping but the second part of the set had less of a buzz after Barry's 2 solos. It was a family affair with the bands girls (sisters) and two brothers in the band.

The lyrics are a social/political commentary with tracks you can dance or sing along to and some great lyrics from Bob Breeks, 'Oops I've been caught with things I haven't bought, in fact I actually nicked'em' ... So, if you missed the Bad Terrorists' excellent gig at the Curve Bar on Thursday 25th then catch them at the Green Fair on Sat. October 27th at St. Mary's Art Centre.
