One-hundred word reviews – The Barons of Tang, the Phoenix, 17/1/2008 – Melbourne Gypsy Hardcore

The Barons of Tang - Plague on Wheels Tour. Tuba on the floor, shirts off, death metal punk Gypsy – why not Romani? – Hardcore; the Phoenix. Dance, dance, dance, the crowd was up for the Barons of Tang from the outset and in a set too short for everyone they frolicked us through their sweaty musical array before passing the top hat around the crowd - University holidays equal no pay at the Phoenix. The Double-Bass player was declared: “good enough to do me for a week.” Then it ended. Unfortunately I missed the Super Best Friends, I was chasing Vampires.
