"Tonight sees the Talking Heads in Southampton play host to rock band Inme who are out on tour promoting their latest album "Herald Moth" which shows a whole new side to the band talents, the band recorded the album as a four piece, however just before the tour started drummer Simon and new guitarist Ben were involved in a car accident, Simon escaped virtually unscathed, Ben seriously broke his arm which ruled him out of the band for at least the rest of the year, Inme decided to soldier on with the tour adapting to their original 3 piece.
Zeroscape from Toronto, Canada arrived onstage with lead singer "Binski" draped with a Canadian flag looking like he was a boxer ready to get in the ring, with the rest of the band also stripped to their waists ready for action they start their "reggae metal" style of music a fusion of metal with reggae and ska. Guitarist "Speshalitz" was sporting some evil looking face paint and a huge afro wig which covered most of his face, how he was able to see to play his guitar I will never know. The sound is powerful and the audience really does not know what has hit them, "Binski" tirelessly works the crowd whipping them up and urging audience participation this soon pays off with the audience singing along to a metal version of the Bob Marley classic "Get Up Stand Up". The band end their fast paced set with a track called "Friday Night" from their lastest EP which goes down really well and the band gets a large amount of appreciation as they leave the stage.
The 2nd support act is London band Symphony Cult a 5 piece metal band fronted by lead singer Charlotte Lubbock who arrives on stage takes the microphone and says "Hello Northampton" the shocked crowd were stunned to silence with a short gap with then a few sniggers at this hilarious moment, Charlotte did not realize her error and said it again, one of the other members of the band whispered in her ear they were actually in Southampton a "Spinal Tap" moment if ever there was one, not the best start to their.."
