I haven't been to the Old Blue Last for quite a while. Since I was last there they have moved the upstairs bar. I think it is an improvement to have a squarer audience area. They have also removed the lights, I think it might be because work is still in progress, but it is certainly very black tonight; even with my ability to photograph at dimness below normal room lighting I am still left with no option but to use flash.

I last saw Fight Like Apes in 2007 and they have come a long way since then and tonight's gig is now a small venue for them. They put a lot into their show and it is a pity that it is not visable. Bitches open the evening with a seriously frenetic set. A boy on guitar and girl on drums/vocals produce plenty of noise at a breakneck pace. Foe's set in the middle seems qute sober between the other two bands, but in fact they are no laggards and offer a well paced performance of some fine songs. A very good (if dark) evening.
