ANAMANAGUCHI (London Garage, 15/09/13)


Chiptune odysseys! 3D pixel art projections! Magical light tubes! Neon rainbow bass strings! Anamanaguchi's first ever London gig was as much as a blast as one could hope for, even though the venue was, as the kids would put it, “hot as balls.” The rest of the bands were more of a mixed bag, however- Sabrepulse was exactly how I imagined Skrillex to sound like i.e. shit, Johnny Foreigner were a bit out of sorts, Shirobon was as decent as anyone that looks like a Games Workshop shelf-stacker deserves to be, and AXES were an absolutely stonking mix of Deerhoof, Ponytail, Battles and old school math-rock and one of the best support bands I've seen in years.
