Diane Cluck is a great singer, and songwriter, straight from the heart, but what fascinates me is her rhythmical sense. The song here well evokes the ambivalence of love. Next up was Dufus. They actually played the next night too with a different and larger line-up, but on this occasion they played as a trio and Seth did a couple of solo songs that were new to me, a very personal lullaby, and the rollercoaster ride of a number presented here. Then we came to Schwervon! comprising Major Matt Mason and Nan. I've included two contrasting tunes as I was unable to pick just one that was truly representative. Matt can sing and chew gum at the same time, and intro'd one tune with a sincere testimonial to his pants. Next we had The Babyskins, replete in their girl guide outfits, and efficiently filled out by bass and drums. Drummer Steven Mertens made a big production of setting up a mike for his one line in the song below which is why everyone cracks up when he does it. As they left the stage Toby led the assembled throng in singing birthday wishes to Strictly Beats, Steven M, and Crystal Babyskin, and a large cake was consumed as the last act, Larval Organs, set up. They only got to play one song, and the Galapagos sound guy appeared to have disappeared at this point severely limiting vocals, however they made up for it with a monster guitar solo that well rounded off the night.
