MERCY HOUSE, '77, XENOCHORD Live At The Gaff 17.09.09 (Gig Review)

The Gaff, Holloway Road 17.09.09

XENOCHORD
There is now something very infectious about the Hungarian absinthe drinking rockers, they are utterley entertaining and totally commited to producing the finest prog tinged death metal you will hear in london.

Each time they seem to improve, now with the new drummer they seem more solid, faster and very confident.

The songs have now become like great friends they bring a smile to your face and are always welcome.

'77
Spain's answer to old school Ac/Dc make their second visit to the Gaff even more exciting than their first.
It is pure rock n roll fun, delivered with total conviction and despite the very obvious Ac/Dc sound and influence they make their own statement with a degree of originality that shines through.

THE MERCY HOUSE
The rock just dont stop!
That the Mercy House are an awesome sight to behold goes without saying, the songs are brilliant and the musicianship of all band members is top notch.

I have said it before and i will keep saying it... Their vocalist Drew has "THE" voice of classic rock, but his ability to perform is just as electric and he has no trouble with jumping into the audience to "give it some", i just wish he'd look a bit happier on stage, i think he takes it too seriously.

There is nothing to worry about, any band who can perform and entertain this well should be grinning from ear to ear.
