Xpressway in Minehead

Have just found a couple of Dead C photos I took at last December's ATP, in the rare moments that I wasn't totally mesmerized by their 90-minute set. The bouncers loathed every "note" that our heroes played, but since they're probably all into generic funky house (as sponsored by Ministry Of Sound), they can go funk themselves in the ear. My photo skills leave a lot to be desired, but I like these two, so here they are for your delectation. The Surgery is considering opening up a Flikr account, so that all visitors can check out future photos from me at the click of a button.

I was fortunate enough to see the Dead C perform again at London's Lumiere club a couple of days later, where they were if anything even better. Seeing Messrs Russell, Morley & Yeats wrench out an excellent rock/noise/improv racket was a treat to the ears, and to finally get to see them in the flesh was a small dream fulfilled. I do believe they have a forthcoming album release this year, which I'll be looking out for. "Bang fucking bang, the mighty Dead C..."
