The initial
buzz in Trillians when arriving was reminiscent of the feelings from the
late 80's, early 90's of the Mayfair.
Everyone was hyper on adrenaline and alcohol waiting for the band to
mount the stage. Suddenly out of the darkness they immerged and as the
lights shone down on them, five fluorescent faces grinned back!! The
crowd went MAD!!
Straight into "Hey Let's Get It On" to get everyone in the
party mood and sent the whole bar jumping up and down under our feet.
Alex with his cheeky, painted grin (looking like an evil Ronald
McDonald) coaxing the troop of the Anti-Product's People Army on.
No time to pause for breath, as we were all thrown into
"Psychedelic Girlfriend!" my god can these guys rock! The
adrenaline that was flowing through the crowd was amazing as these
psychotic punks threw themselves into their masterpieces of musical
lingo.
They sprung about like loonies and Alex decided to remind us of the
fact, by head butting the mike several times and telling us how much he
loved the North-East and that he felt completely at home here because we
are all mental too!!
They treated us to the fantastically anthemic "Bungee Jumping
People Die" and "Best Days of Our Lives" and then decided
that they needed some support on stage, so dragged two willing victims
from the audience, to quench their thirsts.
These two wannabe - game for a laugh -rockstars helped out by killing an
E chord and head butting the mike stand and at first welt the poor lad
made his head bleed. Which was quite funny as it looked as though he had
just entered into the running for the "Circus of Horrors", or
a tomato ketchup advert.
"Big News" was up next and A.Product (Alex) thought it
was about time that he introduced himself to the audience by swinging
out on the lighting rig into the crowd and singing on the tables.
He then clambered back to the stage (via the lighting rig again) and
belted out "Supergirl" and introduced us to the rest of the
band. Claire Pproduct on guitar, Toshi Product on bass, Melena Yum on
keyboards and Gonk on drums. All equally as nutty as himself.
"Live In England" was the last musical morsel for the night
and this was poggoed to like the good old days of the 70's with lots of
effervescence and great showmanship.
If you ever get the chance to go and see these guys GO because their
stage show and musical talent is "OUT OF THIS WORLD" .
