Cay @ The Junction, Cambridge (25th October 1999)
Oh Cay, sandwiched between two shining lights in the new school of
dullard rock (Feeder and Subcircus), there's every chance for them to
shine tonight. On record, unanimously agreed to sound not unlike the
gnarly rush of Hole (especially on the rawer b-sides), live at the
Junction, on the final night of this tour, there's less Hole than
void. Visually the band are like a resurrected and warmed- up Sleeper
and musically the band are---disastrously---like a resurrected and
warmed-up Sleeper with a rockier edge and occasional glimpses of what
might have been if only the music had lived up to the teasing promise
of Anet Mook's Courtney rasp. Inchoative, patchy and often downright
tedious, we end where we came in: Oh Cay, only OK.
