Girl + the Machine opened up for Vulcan Dub Squad at Zaphod's last Friday. I thought they were more compelling than the headliners, mostly because I like a good vocalist and Jackie L. - the aforementioned Girl - has a nice, clear voice with a sultry edge. The rest of the band is good too. Bassist Fred got a lot of mileage out of his two multi-effect pedals. You might have thought he was playing a synthesizer if you were going by sound alone. There's a spacey, sci-fi edge to their sound - Broadcast, Laika or Portishead with more international favour. The band also has a budding sideline in the sale of art, scarves and assorted doodads.
That Girl (
and here, too).
Freddy Wize and drummer Neil Rickshaw.
Guitarist Geoffoh (and a very blurry Neil).
More Rickshaw!
More Girl (and Fred)!
More Geoffoh!
Some fan dancing.
Girl and Geoffoh rock action!
I also took a larger group shot - as usual with these things,
it's not very good.
