BRRR COLD - STUDIO RECORDINGS
23 Mothers At War
24 Turtle Maestros

Live performances from the first three and, amazingly, some studio recordings from Brrr Cold. The Slugfuckers
played really well and pissed a lot of people off. This was the night is support for Tsk Tsk Tsk in rockist mode and, apparently, their last ever performance. Unfortuantely, the sound is pretty muffled - it was a great venue to be at but sound quality was never it's selling point. It's also a duplicate of the 2nd part of the other Slugs recording I have which I'd incorrectly attributed to SideFX.

The Hope... performance is good as well with strong, tight playing for the majority of songs. 

Via Veneto's loose, techno PIL-ish funk is good only occassionally but when it gels it sounds great. 

The Brrr Cold recordings are wonderfull with tight, fiddly, Henry Cow influenced changes and Rae's mournfull vocals.
