Sat 29 November 2014<\/div>\n

Last Saturday I headed to the Side Show for the first time for Yoh!’s ‘Goth Gathering’ party…it was all-round a really weird night…<\/p>\n

\"DOOKOOM\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

So there are a few reasons I found the night pretty damn odd…first one was the venue – it was my first time at the cavernous Side Show, which is actually pretty cool inside\u00a0but it needs a massive\u00a0crowd to come into its own and unfortunately the relatively modest turnout on Saturday didn’t touch sides, literally.<\/p>\n

\"Yoh<\/a> Next was the theme; for a ‘goth gathering’ there wasn’t much goth-ness going on… the background slideshow (featuring among other things this gem<\/a>) was pretty great\u00a0though and to be fair some people put effort into dressing up but most didn’t. Plus I heard maybe 2 or 3 tracks before the first\u00a0act that could pass for gothy\u00a0but for the most part the DJs filled the gaps between bands with early 2000s commercial hip-hop (I’m talking Usher, Eve,\u00a0Outkast…).<\/p>\n

\"Yoh<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\"Roger<\/a><\/p>\n

But, when\u00a0BOOLZ took to the stage and starting rapping, as 3 more acts would do afterwards, I understood that\u00a0Ms Jackson<\/em>\u00a0was in actual\u00a0fact a more appropriate mood-setter\u00a0than\u00a0Boys don’t cry…<\/em><\/p>\n\n\t\t
