Jar @ The Lexington

The Lexington used to be called Clockwork, it was briefly called the Belvedere in the summer. Upstairs is essentially unchanged from its days as the Clockwork, although the stage is more normal. JAR have this last minute gig due to a cancellation. The lights aren't great, but the band are clearly more relaxed than on Monday and sound very good. They are supporting a band, Kasms, who I am very pleased to encounter. They have a feel of early Souxsie and the Banshees with a lively girl singer with a red bob. She is definitely in the top league of people who throw themselves around jumping in the air, rolling on the floor and rushing into the audience. At one point she even sits on the drum kit with her legs in the air! Regular readers will know that I am generally attracted to bands who do exciting things, and I enjoyed their music as well.
