GNOD

Having many Gnod CDs and liked them for years especially their collaborations with White Hills, I approached Cafe Oto last night with some trepidation. The support bands were interesting and quite different to what I expected. Then Gnod came on, not on stage as there is not one in this venue! It was immediately obvious that something special was going on. All I can say is that it was one hell of an experience that is very difficult to describe. The musicianship was astonishing and the song selection, mainly from album Chaudeland was superb. The amazing thing about the whole event was that they only played 3 songs but played for over an hour. I cannot wait to see them again and would recommend them live as an experience everyone should experience before they die. Yes they were that good.

Very intense show for them, driving riffs that reflects the angry title of their new album! As a bonus they played stuff from previous albums which I gather is unusual for them! That, along with a great experimental set from the support Group A completed a memorable evening.
