The Unfortunate Incident at Soyo… this is TOO Soviet

From the desk of Quintana “Quinto” Haberno (pt 2 – This is too Soviet)

Pre-ramble
Sometimes I get some rather strange emails. Besides the one about making her girls faint and altering the size of my manhood (it’s okay as it is), I get the odd piece of hatemail. Sod it, anyone with a computer and a keyboard can write something angry (how else do you think I got this gig?)

But amidst the bits and bobs, I thought “hey, maybe they are right about us overgushing ! And also, only 3 pounds for these alternative pills to the blue pill that might give me more than a stiffy?” So in a brash decision, I decided to mosey down to Soyo and check out what was going around that night.

The gig.

I ran into Spam (that fat git) again that night. He was there checking out the acts. I asked if he was reviewing, but he had stuff in his plate (and a few things to sort out on his head), so he was more of a fan than a reviewer that night.

I can’t comment on the other bands (as I missed them), but I managed to watch the whole set for The Unfortunate Incident. I heard of them because of two writers from this site (your #1 stop for Sheffield rantings!) and although I really don’t know any of their stuff, it was a droll time.

I dunno what genre they are playing, but if I were pressed by two ginger girls armed with Stella bottles (call me, girls, I’m still single and you have my mobile!), I would say that they are country-punk-psychobilly with some slocore (man, those lyrics are really depressing).

It’s a good thing that they seem to be switching genres between song and song, keeping you in your toes whilst confusing The General Population. That’s alright, Soyo always have a few people who look like they just got into a Gulag after speaking shit about the NKVD.

Don’t delve too much into that analogy. I have issues.

ANYWAYS, enough ramblin’, gotta say a few things about TUI:

a)They are funny. Not only funny looking, but the whole vibe from their set is fun.

b)Fuck me, they are fast. The last song, ‘The unfortunate incident’, has to be one of the fastest jams I’ve seen used to close a gig.

c)Careful with those glasses, Russell.

d)What’s the song with the country rhythm? Damn catchy.

e)Where’s the song about the monkey? We gotta have that song back!

f) The bass player (Dan) – that’s some pro digit work.

g) Woe is whoever makes Tom angry. Just ask the floor tom or the snare. Ouchtown.

Will probably to catch them live the next time they play, especially if someone lets me know beforehand. Choke on a muffin, fat idiot. And tell your fit friend with the mousy hair to call me! ha ha ha!

Big Love
Quintana (the twat you love to hate)
