In association with the ever-lovely JUDAS KISS zine and supporting ATTRITION, a splendid little evenings entertainment, briefly blighted by dysfunctional microphones and the early calling in of the megaphone… The dancing Goth finale made the 600-mile round trip (complete with detonating car radiator) almost worthwhile, and proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that it is possible to get car-lagged.

Started off badly and accelerated to awesome, the turning point seemed to be when Lee suggested that the lack of applause was down to the fact that the audience consisted entirely of one-armed goths, and then offered the promoter a fight onstage. For the benefit of newcomers, it is generally inadvisable to shout out requests at a Chaos Engine gig… Supported by the abrasively awesome LEECHWOMAN, whose junk percussion and light show gave us projector-dustbin envy and a happy headache!
