Cape Tribulation @ Frankie’s Pizza, 11th Mar

“Cape Tribulation are basically made of hair and tattoos, and deliver thudding, hurricane-flavoured heavy direct to the eyeballs – what’s deeply joyful to hear though is the elements of cunning Sonic Youth-y bits of sneakiness that weave their way through the set. As the hair flails and the rhythms beat you to bits, tiny little razors slip through the net of heavy trauma as well. You don’t just get beaten round the head, you wake up with tiny little cuts everywhere too.”
