THE OCTOPUS PROJECT (London Shacklewell Arms, 29/09/15)



Anyone who has ever had to endure my awful views on music may know that I reckon Austin's The Octopus Project to be one of the most underrated live bands in the world. Tonight's show at the Shacklewell Arms did nothing to undermine this opinion. Like a psychedelic take on Holy Fuck with additional theremin, they deliver an electrifying fusion of propulsive percussion and kaleidoscopic progginess, and if there was any justice in the world they'd be headlining the Brixton Academy rather than the back of a pub in Dalston.
