At
last a review, this one from Billy Aitken who was lucky enough to
catch them at their Aberdeen gig on the 4th November.
Well,
the shitty Aberdeen weather and shitty Aberdeen (lack of)
promotion no doubt contributed to a shitty Aberdeen crowd for
999's appearance at Glow 303. Never the less, the boys seemed
unperturbed by this as they launched into their set with a
storming Black Flowers For The Bride. The sound was great and the
band was certainly firing on all cylinders. The response they got
from the small but extremely vocal crowd encouraged them further
and they continued a-pace through a healthy selection of their
back catalogue. Most of the favourites got a spirited working
over - Hit Me, Me and My Desire, Titanic Reaction, Emergency, The
Biggest Prize In Sport, Chicane Destination, Little Red Riding
Hood and many more. Despite the poor turnout, the band was in
scorching form. Guy was wringing clever little lead lines out of
his instrument (he really is an under rated guitarist) while Nick
was doing his traditional machine gunning of the crowd. Feeling
Alright With The Crew was preceded with Nick's usual little intro
about being written in Brixton with the rastas while they
dedicated new(ish) song, Split Personality to my mate Dave who's
currently working in a hostel with a schizophrenic!
Homicide, of course, was given a mid set airing, introduced with
as "Here's one you might have heard of!" with an almost
straigh face by Nick. After what seemed like only 20
minutes - it was actually an hour and twenty! - they whizzed
through Nasty Nasty, said their goodnights and left the stage.
The crowd weren't having it of course and, after a couple of
minutes, the stamping of feet brought the guys back out for a
rousing run through I'm Alive before they were off. I was a tiny
bit disappointed that there was no My Street Stinks and one bloke
who had shouted for No Pity ALL NIGHT would have had a wee bit
let down too. Small grumbles though in the face of the excellent
set we were presented with.
Before
and after the show, we got the chance to have a chat with the
band and all were in good spirits, even the normally brusque Guy.
Nick and Arthur are real gents and we had a good bit of banter
going back and forth about the European football that had been
taking place that week. Pablo was his usual quiet self - very shy
I think. Arthur in particular was making sure we all got a drink
off their rider and went as far as taking Dave back to the door
and getting his ticket money back, insisting he was on the guest
list. Unfortunately, I ended up having to drive on the night of
the show so they even shared out their bottles of mineral water
when I turned down the offer of a beer! Eventually they had to
call time (about 2am)and get off to Arbroath for the next night's
gig. Before he left, Arthur made us promise to phone and tell him
if the UK Subs get a better crowd when they play Glow next month.
They promised to return same time next year and I for one look
forward to it immensely. There's no pretence with 999. What you
see is what you get and it's consistently good. I hope they still
get a kick from the live thing and their other crowds on the
dates were a bit better, well larger, than Aberdeen because they
certainly deserve it. True pros.
There
were 4 gigs that I didn't manage to post in time, but i've listed
them anyway and we should have a review (or two) soon,
