Wicked
Venetians
Friday night at The Hob was always going to be special: The Wicked
Venetians launch party for their new mini-album on Glasstone Records;
Available on Amazon I understand but what would I know
about that?
Anyway, my war with The Hob’s mist machine hasn’t gone very well. I told you I hired a crack team of Serbian special forces mercenaries to
attack it for me:
Die you £$@#er! Die!!
All they did was spend my money on Peach Schnapps and sausage.
Then they took one look at security and ran away.
Wusses.
I could construct a
small thermonuclear device out of the elements from smoke detectors (google the
scout who built a nuclear reactor in his shed, no really….do) or I could buy a
better camera……..no, not that.
But it does mean there are some missed moments – like the
whole of ‘Midfield Workhorse’ who were playing intelligent, lyrical songs with
some wild moments, just for the heck of it.

I must have been asleep a long time to have missed these
people.
These pictures snatched in passing moments of clarity don’t
do them justice;
Wicked
Venetians
This was why I was there, squashed into a corner,
surrounded by their fans. Why it was always going to be a good night;
Musical, dramatic, theatrical and I’m trying to freeze
shadows in a sea of mist.
Next to me, a venetian was firing off lightning sketches using a 15th century technology that the court of the Doge’s palace
would have recognised – white felt tip pen on black paper.
And she was doing a better job of capturing the moment than
my two dimensional cartoons could.
The Wicked Venetians; original, talented musicians – catch them
if you can and now there’s a disc too.

You can get a slideshow if you click on any picture but you would get a better idea of what it was like from the sketchbook I saw.
