Jazz and Rock - Preview: Abandon

Have you ever tried to find out what type of music your mate’s band plays, only to be met with a long hesitation? It’s either because they boldly believe that they ‘don’t fit into conventional genres’ or more likely because they can’t speak. Anyway, we’ve pinned down some of IC’s finest talent into telling us a bit about themselves:

P.O.G. hail from a small planet circling Tau Ceti, touting their space age rock’n’roll to a disaffected audience in the ‘burbs of Betelgeuse. Having seen the riches earned by our earth stars (and after extensive cosmetic surgery in a California clinic to help them blend seamlessly into earth society) they have decided to settle here to play some guitar orientaed rock. Finally, Resident Waste, who are headlining tonight, are a ‘moody alternative rock band’ that narrowly missed world stardom after a brief encounter with Flea and Anthony Kiedis of the Red Hot Chilli Peppers. Masters in the art of crowd pleasing (once playing Metallica’s ‘Creeping Death’ to a crowd who asked for a funky number), they will be playing a mixture of covers and originals.
