The first our our events this year kicked off at Duffy’s Bar. And I thought with a heavy line up with headliners Independent Trucking would mean a lot of head bobbing. I was not prepared for all the dancing
The very lovely Boilermen started us off, by their own omission, they are owed by the epic Unglam band – Boilers. By which we mean they are the husbands of. Boilermen have their own unique sound of short loud punchy songs.
Skeyth inadvertently brought with them a following of bright young things that would gather in the corner near the entrance and then randomly run out and have a little mosh before all scuttling back to their corner. I’ve seen a lot of mosh pits and beat downs, but this I would call this a bounce down as they proceeded to just bounce off each other. Much to the entertainment of the rest of the audience.
By the time Independent Trucking came to the stage, the audience was well warmed up and we all just danced away to the instrumentals of the post-rock doom band like we were listening to pop songs. The whole night was a lot of fun!
