I know one other part of the collective went (Pied de Formagio) it was a great gig. Why are Brit venues always afflicted with rubbish sound. First song you couldnt hear the guitar at all, dont they do sound checks. Funny to be in a gig in London with so many Danes.

Chr1st are they still playing?

Last saw them at Camden Underworld in 95????? Prior to that it was IIRC the Astoria for Risking It All in 92. 1000's of Danes and a giant sofa as the stage set.

Yep, sound wasn't the best, but all 3 bands were bloody ace, was an excellent night!

Took a few photos inbetween lots of leaping about and general tomfoolery.

My ears still seem to be ringing slightly though 😯

Yep, brilliant stuff. Saw them at Camden Underworld last year (at least I think it was last year!) and that was great too, nice intimate venue.

They've got so many songs to choose from, and never dissapoint.
Was talking to their guy out front on the merch stand, and he was saying that Steve Harris (of that Iron Maiden outfit) is a massive fan and was dissapointed not to be able to get to the gig due to prior commitments, which was a shame. Mind you, I didn't end up coming away with yet another T-Shirt with Molly on it!

Skarlett Riot and The Howling were also very good (despite the dodgy PA).

If you haven't got it and you don't already have most of D-A-Ds back catalogue, I can highly recommend the Overmuch Box Set.

It's a horrible venue in a crappy shopping centre that never should have been built.
