Face Of Cheam

This was the fifth and best time I've seen this Scandinavian elctro rock five piece. An hour and a half set, more balanced than last time and an up for it crowd. Maya the singer descibed her last London performance at the Borderline as a 'small basement bar that was pretty awful'. A bit harsh but then they relied on a lot of their new album 'Crossing The Rubicon' without mixing it. Here the most new songs played on the trot were three and obviously with the album being out for a while now, they are gaining familarity.
In the encore, they grabbed a Venuzaluen bloke on to play the kettle drum. They asked for a audience person who could keep a beat, however this bloke got a bit overexcited and had to be ushered off the stage half way through the song as the timing was going a bit too pot! Finishing just before 11, I made it to Balham for the last train in approxamitely half an hour being lucky with my connections at Euston and Stockwell between the Victoria and Northern lines. Perhaps boris isn't messing it up..... Nahhhh!
