Three Hundred and Sixty Eight Down


Rock City throbbed tonight with an all but sold out crowd as the Sheila-singing Brit rap lad, Jamie T kicked off his postponed-since-Autumn UK Tour in Nottingham. It was an all-in-capitals incredible gig. Jamie T and The Pacemakers were blinding. Everywhere from the mosh pit to the back of mob and beyond was a sweaty revelation. The Jager fuelled shapeshifting that ensued is going to be a wee bit sore tomorrow and only to be soothed by more punk-rap and metal hurling itself upon my frontal lobes. I defy anyone to disagree.



Playing an array of tracks from both Panic Prevention (2007) and Kings & Queens (2009), as well as forthcoming single Emily's Heart and a selection of B-sides, proved popular with a crowd who couldn't contain their outbursts of rap-along efforts; especially with Sheila and Sticks & Stones which was one third of their en core. Every song performed with vim and vigour leaving our mouths watering and yearning for more.

The low point of the entire night (yes, sadly there was a low point) was the end. After the en core was over and the metaphorical curtain came down, we got chased out into the cold by a very burly, grumpy Russian bouncer and into next door's Venue for indie riffed shapeshifting.



A night packed with riffs, rap and rock 'n roll from Britain's favourite punk-rap renegade. Same shit band too much hype? No Mr T, this definitely is not you.

BBPD.
