“When the night starts off like this you know it’s going to get rough”, one of the bouncers next to me muttered after removing a bunch of underage kids from the line outside the Assembly. PH Fat were launching their (free to download<\/a>) EP by playing with Christian Tiger School, Beach Party and The Bone Collectors, and the bouncer was right – it did get rough.<\/p>\n

\"Beach<\/a>\u00a0 \"PH<\/a><\/p>\n

The line-up seemed pretty bizarre to me – I like all the acts but would never have thought of putting them all together. First band up, The Bone Collectors<\/a>, seem to me pretty much on the opposite end of the spectrum to PH Fat but nevertheless it had been a while<\/a> and I was glad to see them again.<\/p>\n

Their set was quite different to what I’d heard in the past – their tall cabinet banger guy<\/a> was missing, they had a new drummer (Captain Stu<\/a>‘s Ryk Otto) and seemed to be moving away from their old bluesy sound. I really loved their opening track which was fittingly apocalyptic (given the night’s theme and giant sign on the stage, ‘you are going to die’) and enjoyed their set, though I have to say I missed the bluesiness a bit.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
