This is the review I posted on The Nuttwork Neighbourhood the day after the show, so it is a bit rambly!!!

Here are my ramblings.... Terrible journey to London meant that we arrived to see Adequate 7 play the end of their last song...oh well!!! Skindred were okay, but a bit samey after a while, I felt. However, Angelo was wandering around chatting during their set, so I had a...

Well. Not easy to see Fishbone in Southamerica, ( I am Colombian, and do live in Brazil) so I had to go to London to see them. I was with an Italian Friend o mine who didn`t know the band. We get to the marquee at 7:00pm. No cue, so I was afraid the place was full. But It wasn`t. Actually, We entered and the place was empty. I took the first row. attached to the barrier. 1,5 m from stage. The best of openning acts was Angelo walking about . A french girl was with a camera. took a pic from me and Angelo who was, I guess, a bit stoned. Short nice chat about drinks. A couple of hours after that the place was full. And then the show began. What a powerful sound the band made to start. My fiend was impressed about the quality of the band. And always asking me about the song`s titles and other Fishbone stuff.... I roughly remember when Angelo presented Cholly, he said she was a whore and all the ladies around deserved to get dedicated this song... Some girls beside me began to dance as devilish bitches. They loved Angelo's speech. (Of course I could took advantage of that). Angelo surfing from the stage during Cholly`s end and Skanking to the beat. He get the bar, (that at the deep left end from stage) and began to sing Alcoholic from there. Then he came back surfing as well.... All the time the performance was a fantastic music party. Sadly it ended up..... Norwood took his kid by his hand and show him to the crowd.. My Italian friend Loved the band and went to Italy to buy all their works..... Me I stood for about 1 hour after the end kissin one the Cholly's drunk and dancing... and I`m still waiting for the french girl to send me the pic....

Next time I bring my own camera.......
