Tonight has a dual function as a secret warm up for the Dead's Reading/ Leeds festival appearances, and also as part of a run up to the Kerrang awards. Fortunately the audience isn't entirely made up of music industry types, as a few fans have managed to get their hands on the scarce tickets.

As if to prove that this isn't just a showcase, AYWKUBTTOD make the most of this 150 capacity venue by leaping into the audience at every opportunity, climbing up the PA, and generally playing some impressive high-octane punk rock. You always knew it was going to end in a riot, and true enough at the end of their mighty 70 minute set a lot of the equipment has fallen off the stage and the drummer has to go and get stitches in his hand!

In between the chaos we get material from both their albums, with the songs from 'Madonna' going down best. 'Blight Takes All' is really powerful, 'Mistakes and Regrets' and 'Mark David Chapman' are post-punk classics in the vein of late 80s Sonic Youth, and the haunting 'Clair De Lune' provides a welcome breather for everyone. They may not live up to the hype of the best rock band in the world, but they are certainly worth seeing live.

Imagine prime Sonic Youth with Pete Townsend and Keith Moon joining in and you've got some idea of the windmilling arms and flailing drums that are part of the spectacle. If their next release carries on in this vein they will be major contenders. Until then, they are umissable live entertainment.
