Anaesthetised by the biting cold, never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined that Electric Brixton would serve as a portal to another world. Yet, just a couple of nights ago this is precisely what happened. Under a gig guise, 3 bands took the stage, flung open the gates and held the audience?s hand in crossing over to the other side.
Doodseskader
Doodseskader?s set is a fearless reflection of pain, their instruments tuned to the audience?s deepest anguish and flung back at them with implacable force. It?s a gritty, intransigent mirror of emotion, drilled into the collective subconscious with precision. There?s almost no lightness in the duo?s show but it is not missed. Against a backdrop of projected lyrics, Tim de Gieter and Sigfried Burroughs share vocal duties, crafting a performance that?s as much about forging connection as it is about accepting detachment. Drums, bass, catharsis ? stripped bare.
