Squeezing in to the Kings Arms, Salford, for a gig.

The Kings Arms in Salford is one of those well-kept-secret-type places.  A little pub on a corner in a slightly obscure area, incidentally there is a really cheap (and delicious) chip shop just around the corner.   

 The pub reminded me of somewhere in East Berlin a bit...The DiY style eclectic furniture and disco ball vibe was real cool.
Upstairs there was a small-ish room with a stage where the Helmets4men night would occur later on...

Mister Long Arms sound-checking

The sound-check was a slightly extended/muddled affair as every effort was made to produce a miraculously awesome sound in slightly tricky circumstances.  

 As it turned out the sound that night was...well, bad.  

(But that is not to say that the night itself was not a success)

Not to worry the bands said...onwards and upwards... 
or downwards to the bar area at least.

Cheers Lass!

First on that night were Sheffield's Black Horrors -  A wild live act that surprised and even shocked me a little...recommend seeing live.

Then there was Kin – atmospheric Radiohead/PJ Harvey-esque songs.  Really cool. 

Kin using multiple microphones

And last but not least  The Arch Nazards, slight carnage... glasses smashed by falling microphone stands...Wild. 

Anyway check this out for a real review of the night: Review !

AND check out Helmets4Men for videos of the night and previous nights too... 

Great Stuff.
