O’DEATH (Hoxton Bar and Kitchen, 02/10/08)

Fifth time round, and O’Death’s explosion of down-and-dirty bluegrass still hasn’t got old. Indeed, this showcased the hyperactive Brooklyners at their yee-hawing, barnstomping best, delivering over an hour of frantic hoedowns, screeched vocals and the violin playing of a man possessed. Supports Bodies of Water were an intriguing proposition, reminding me of an avant-garde Cloud Cult and even if their set didn’t always capture my attention, they still shone more brightly than an off-form Frightened Rabbit, going through the motions.
