About Me

"A collection of ramshackle weirdos commandeers the stage. This, if I'm not mistaken, is The New Minority. They look like a fairly random bunch. There's a distinct absence of any overall 'band image' here: a punk guitarist, a scientist bassist, and a garage rocker drummer wearing an MC5 T-shirt. Well, bearing in mind how the drummer with Bordello sported a T-shirt which hinted accurately at the musical direction of the band, that seems promising to me. I don't know if New Minority kick out the jams, but they certainly kick arse. They generate a crazed, gonzoid rumpus, firing smashed-up bits of guitar noise in all directions, with assorted bursts of yelling and screeching over the top. It's an anti-rock 'n' roll racket, all tangents and collisions and barely-formed sort-of songs. I'm not entirely sure how much of this wilfully chaotic experimentalism is intentional, and how much is simply due to the band's love of making a Bloody Great Racket in a public place, but in a loony kind of way, it works. The bassist glances left and right in a quizzical manner, as if he's not quite sure what's going to happen next, while his colleague on guitar gets increasingly frenzied by the minute. There's a sudden incursion into the audience, and a swift poll to decide which cover song the band should play. It's between the Dead Kennedys' 'California Uber Alles' and Link Wray's 'Let's Get Ready To Rumble'. I'm holding out for the Link Wray tune, but the Kennedys get it, and, shortly thereafter, so do we - right between the eyes. The verdict on New Minority? Ah, lovely chaps. Mad as goats, mind."
