In the immortal words of the Gerry Anderson's Terrahawks "expect the unexpected".
At least that's how Satan's Little Sister view their own shows.
The first time I saw this band play was in January this year and needless to
say they impressed on so many levels. The first thing that lead me to believe
magic was in the air was when two guys came up to me and my girlfriend and
started giving her a plastic rose. I later found out that they were trying to
pick up girls and they thought if they hedged their bets and gave every woman
in the place flowers they might win.
So cutting to a couple of hours later and by the looks of things plenty more
booze Satan's Little Sister took the stage (or floor if you've seen them live
before) The set was really cool. They way they deconstruct rocknroll is pretty
original. Fuck all those two piece White Stripes rip off bands lets just strip it
back to guitar and drums. Satan's Little Sister don't sing. I don't think its
because they can't its more to do with they don't feel the need to.
There was a lot of beer wasted that night. The puddle of the stuff on the floor
around them attested to that and by the end of the set Deniel had completely
trashed his drumkit. There was broken bits of drum stand flying in all directions.
So there's been rumours of this band being insane or disrespectful of things that
should be held above as something to be worshipped. I think if you go see them
you'll understand whats really going on. A complete dedication to their craft.
Sometimes %100 is just too powerful to be contained within social convention.
Which according to the band can lead to trouble. Broken promises, damaged band
gear and the often experienced getting thrown out of bars.At the end of the day Satan's Little Sister may not be the best musicians in the
world but I don't believe that ever been the point of music. Its about feeling.
These guys will show you a good time maybe buy you a beer and then go on to
assault your ears until they are told to stop. When they are playing its like
there's no one else in the room and time has stopped they are playing for the
love of it not to impress anyone. A band true to themselves and nothing else.Go and see them. Buy one of their albums.Disappointment not included.Cameron...
