That Fucking Tank @ The Brudenell Social Club Leeds, 10.12.2010
I popped along to this gig not exactly knowing what was going on. Turns out it was That Fucking Tank and Humanfly playing sets of their own before teaming up for some improvising with Damo Suzuki. I didn’t know much about Damo Suzuki other than that he used to play in Can in the early 70’s. I sort of enjoyed his set for about 15 minutes in a sort of chilled out way that reminded me of some of the relaxation CD’s we use at work but I can’t say I’d be mega keen on listening to that for longer (but hey what do I know!) but it was good to try something new and I did enjoy a small dose of it.
Anyway back to the ‘Tank’s set. It was great to see them in their home town finally and as per usual they were awesome, I know they attract a more hip crowd but to me they’re basically two dudes playing classic rock rather than the Lightning Bolt tag that they draw. I genuinely think they should be playing metal festivals, they’re one of the few bands that the 12 year old me and the 29 year old me would agree on being awesome. Don’t just take my word for it, download their set from the night HERE.
The recording is also being used as part of Leeds’s Scene’s Advent Calender so check that out for some more seasonal treats.
