Le Sac vs Pip @ Cockpit


So first off, Morning Fader has to apologies to Sound of Rum for turning up so lazily and missing most of their set, but the final song that we did hear blew us away. But we cannot comment on what we didn't see.

B.Dolan however we did! after sneaking in a quick beer we gt prime position to see the show. That's exactly what it was though, it was a full on show, captivated by his big beats and lyrics, that wasn't all. Bring up a guest on to the stage, he re-enacted Evel Knievel most daring stunt.. which a few tweaks to ensure it fitted on the cramp Cockpit stage. He did the exact job of a support act that many artists forget, to hype up the crowd, regardless. Here is a taster in the form of Fifty Ways To Bleed Your Customer however i think you are best just going out and buying the album.



An empty stage was slowly being filled, an 80 caramel office chair, table, bottle of rose, living room upright lamp and three easels, complete with Logic of Chance artwork. Dan Le Sac hummbly settles himself behind his decks, and lets the first sample loose (Beat That My Heart Skipped) as Scroobious Pip strides on with purpose... and a brief case. Again, I'm going to have to pull this word out again but the gig was nothing less than a show, characters and costume changes, and a fucking good dialogue. Magician Assistant literally had people in tears, a song that has so much power on the debut album Angles looses nothing on stage. But it wasn't all about the old tracks, The Beat, does exactly what it says on the tin. Sick Tonight hit just as hard as it did as the first listen on the album, in fact i would have loved to have been one of the ones to hear that for the first time there. The final surprise for us, by this point soaked in sweat, with grins from ear to ear and hands in the air, Scroobious Pip left the stage after their encore of Letter From God To Man, Yet Dan remained. Playing a 10minute jungle/electro influenced Dj set, i would have paid the ticket price to see that.




I hope this is not the last we hear from them, i want to see more singles, and more projects, please.
