Opening John Kennedy's first Radio X 'X-posure at the Barfly' night were Dissention Records 4 piece Eighteen Nightmares At The Lux. Their drummer Alex Allen is 6 weeks early to Halloween with his painted face and pink satin shirt. This sense of fun is not lost throughout a unruly set.
They open with the garage-cum-punk ‘6ft 6’which, musically, is made in the mould of The Horrors’ ‘Sheena Is A Parasite’. It was the perfect platform for frontman Shimon Joseph to begin his classy performance. Without doing a great deal and wearing a shirt from Neighbours’ Toadfish’s wardrobe, he oozes an effortless akin to Johnny Lee Miller’s portrayal of Sick Boy.
Amidst the psychobilly, goth and punk lurked a track which we feel is best described as the little brother of RATM’s ‘Killing In The Name Of’. It was warped yet accessible, dark yet fun and when we find out what its called, we’ll be sure to let you all know.
Anyway, if our words are not enough to make you listen, well, Q magazines should be:
"A fucked marriage of surf-punk, goth and psychedelia, and will bring you to your knees screaming for more." - Q.
