Another live show this week and it’s a Gunk Fest with The Hip Priests headlining The Pipeline in London with The Sick Livers and Los Pepes as support. When this tour was announced I pretty much punched the air with a cry of “Hell Yeah!” which is fine in the confines of your own home but not if you’re on public transport. A few week’s ago news filtered through to The Squirrel Dray that the Sick Livers were going to *ahem* pull out due to illness within the band. Fortunately a stand in bassist was located and who needs a second guitarist anyway? Up until the gig I’d never heard of openers Los Pepes but they were really the surprise of the evening. It’s great when you stumble upon a band that you expect nothing from but then deliver so much. This was the first time I’d experienced the Sick Livers live and they certainly lived up to my expectations. (N.B. They weren’t set very high). This was only the third time I’d seen the Hip Priests and they just seem to be getting better and better. Next time Turbonegro grace our shores I’d love the Priests to open for them.
