Attack/Switch/Attack

What’s weird is wonderful

REVIEW: COSH CLUB
The Constitution

COSH Club at The Constitution is one of the best, and cheapest, night’s out Camden has to offer. Friday’s startling bill ranged from the weird to the inspirational.
Sonic Dragolgo is a diminutive Japanese man singing Beatles songs, accompanied by online gaming sound-tracks while Bob The Builder plays guitar – I told you there was “weird”.
But the highlight of the evening were Attack/Switch/Attack.
Reminiscent of Talking Heads and Adam and The Ants (circa Kings Of The Wild Frontier), the energy and sheer infectious nature of their sound turned an empty basement room into a sweaty moshpit within minutes.
Deathline brought energy levels down to give everyone a chance to chill out, but you have to be in the right mood for their music – imagine Leonard Cohen singing a Billy Corgan ballad while J Mascis turns up the distortion. Hard work, but worth it.
Plastic Passion closed the evening with enough sweat and running around to keep everyone happy. At The Drive-In’s sound with Blink 182’s sense of fun kept the crowd moshing away, while a small stage invasion closed the evening following the best £1.99 I’ve spent in a long time.
Catch this night before it’s forced to move somewhere larger due to the sheer demand.
