A FOUR-BAND bill makes for a sold-out Village Underground and a heady room sees a tasty cross-section of the current south London scene at its most scintillating.
Before headliners Warmduscher, peripheral movers Meatraffle and Nuha Ruby Ra share the love with the fast-rising Squid and the latter have the room jumping. A persistent stage invader makes for all the moves yet the young and unnerved band plays on.
It's clear that the brunt of the audience is here to see the seven-piece Warmduscher and, as they take to the stage, the atmosphere slips into fevered turbo-charge.
