Ceramic Dog dynamic start, with the first words being “by the river of Babylon” and “songs of freedom”.
“Ecstasy”, one of the songs that exude intensity and freedom, with guitar riffs that flirt with paranoia and a rhythm that plunged the audience into a state of mystical ecstasy. “Connection”, where the interactions between the musicians were both synchronized and unpredictable, with Smith’s drums adding depth and intensity. “Subsidiarity” offered a darker sound, with heavy bass and intermittent melodic lines that echoed a sense of alienation and searching, certainly as a commentary on contemporary social structures.

It was admirable how the guitar strummed along with the rhythm. It was rising. It was only going up. Elsewhere you felt like you were being pushed into glam rock forms, at points by the mysterious Shahzad’s experiments you could tell you were listening to a minimalist disco, and all together it was so avant-garde improvisational, offering a potent, eclectic mix of many styles and moods. At one point the improvisation and experimentation hit red hot. They taught noise lessons. Lessons in performance and intensity. Lessons in distortion and musical expressionism. They went from hard rock and metal to noise, jazz and blues and everything else you can imagine. Blown away by three guys who really knew exactly what they wanted to play and deliver.
