Gig recommendation - Gold Chains

Gigs // Steve // 4th May 2003

At all costs - see this short gravel voiced punk rock MC live first hand in front of people jumping around getting far too excited.

GC - from the video for
"I come from San Francisco"

Topher Lafata, Gold Chains himself, now with extra band to add to the backing singers and laptop setup will slay you at places around the UK throughout May with his mixture of damn near everything that he can think of.

We saw the man himself in Birmingham last year in front of a none-too up for it Monday night crowd, but we were soon bouncing off the damn ceiling. He did a Joy Division cover and brother James nearly wet himself with joy.

You owe it to yourself. Go go go. Go twice. I'll be there at Milton Keynes on the 6th, and maybe Nottingham too if the wind is in the right direction - I'll be the twat at the front pogoing like tomorrow doesn't matter.
