White Zombie/Nottingham rock city/15th May 96
Well this night truly was a gig to remember. Sold out a good two/three weeks in advance Nottingham was ready for White Zombie. Support act Stabbing Westward were pretty good although I must admit to not really paying much attention. Rock city was heaving by the time WZ showed up, this wasn't really helps by the apparent complete lack of any ventilation within the venue. As soon as the intro to 'Electric head Pt1' started the crowd erupted, then sort of thought about what exactly they would do for the minute or so that they had to wait for the real music to start. the show continued with most of Astro Creep And 4/5 tracks from La Sexorcisto. A Brilliant night out was capped with the Sabbath cover 'Children of the Grave' which they also performed on the tribute album 'Nativity in Black'. The band themselves really appeared to be enjoying this show especially bassist Sean Yseult. the only real down side with this gig was that i found myself in the front corner, which although i wasn't really bothrered at the time left me a few feet in front of the (not surprisingly loud) speakers. As a consequence of this my ears were still ringing a good few days later!!
