Cheers
to David Edwards for coming to our show with The Jim Jones Revue at
Sound Control this Friday and adding to the Manchester Music ITC Blog -
Legend.
The Black Knights: Sound Control 20.30
Ooh, this is a bit cheeky, cheeky! It's not officially an ITC gig
(in fact, it's not even unoffical...it's about as far removed &
disjointed as the current England midfield) but we heard that our
long-term favourites The Black Knights were playing. So we couldn't avoid popping our heads in.
And is it just me, or are Gary and Thomas getting more unhinged? This, by the way, is a good thing. A very good thing. They've still got the same brute force, the same seismic riffs & the same dark, stirring, and wonderfully threatening Mississippi swamp blues as they always have. But there's something in the ferocity of Thomas's drumming, Gary's screams, mascara-framed psycho stare & levels of murderous guitar noise that suggests a band moving into a more terrifying, brilliant territory. They even look like they're thoroughly enjoying the whole thing, which considering all things must mean this is one of their best nights. They remain a magnificent enigma, they are still the best band around at doing this sort of thing.
