Gorilla Riot

What a great gig! I've been going to gigs since 1973, but this one was a new experience in that the venue was changed on the night of the gig (due to electrical problems). I'd just got off the train from Leeds at Huddersfield, and needed to find my way to the venue using Google Maps, as I'd never been to The Parish before. Suddenly I got an email telling me that the show was being moved to The BrewDog, where I'd also never been to before! I found the venue easily enough, and was very lucky to catch a bit of A'Priori, the support act, doing their sound check. I'd never heard of them before seeing this gig advertised, and was extremely impressed by them. What a great sound! I'll definitely be hoping to see them live again! Gorilla Riot are a band I've seen three times before, and have always thoroughly enjoyed their live shows and CD's. They excelled once more; an outstanding combination of great music and a wonderfully gritty, smoky vocal performance from Arjun. I really love the sound and will be seeing them live again the next time they are out on the road. A great night - many many thanks to all involved for keeping the gig on at such short notice with the change of venue. Rock music is still alive and well - very much so!
