Warmduscher
Brixton Electrical, London
11 November 2022
Saloon doorways really feel that they’d have been a extra applicable entrance technique this night as Warmduscher take to Electrical Brixton with a plethora of bands, DJ units and kinky drag.
With such late timings (important act not beginning ’til 00:20), I inform myself ‘I’ll head house after the reside music finishes’. Feeling the lie come out of my mouth is type of humorous, as me and my friends know that was not solely unlikely, however utterly unimaginable. With a charismatic smoking space, and conversations all below some type of drug affect, the evening is full of an ideal mixture of celebration go-ers. Waddling in round 5am wasn’t a selection I’d hoped for, but it surely was one full of completely no regrets.
Opus Kink are the primary assist and arms down the band I’ve seen most this yr. There may be by no means a disappointing evening when these jazz-punks are about. (You may learn my full assessment of their latest headline present at Oslo right here to get a grasp of how a lot I like them). Making all the things they do look straightforward, the sextet mix poetry, jazz, punk, and brass into one majestic efficiency. It’s manifestly apparent that frontman Angus Rogers was born to be on stage, together with the remainder of his pack as properly. Opus Kink is a reputation you’ll be listening to much more of.
The title ‘Warmduscher’ hilariously interprets to somebody who’s a wimp for having to take a heat bathe (I believe I’ve understood that right- be happy to let me know if I’m incorrect). Sporting white boiler-suits that make them appear like they’re about to scrub up a criminal offense scene (after a criminal offense they’ve dedicated), this collective of Fats White Household, Childhood and unique members reeks of charisma buried below disco-friendly beats.
I’ve seen these guys a pair occasions earlier than, and nonetheless am having an inner battle with myself on whether or not it’s horny or not. I’m 70/30 cut up on it (70 in direction of horny obvs), however there’s one thing alluring concerning the tempos and their capacity to command any room. Their strategic rhythms get everybody up on their ft as there’s not a single bystander that isn’t transferring. The riptide of our bodies sway backward and forward and their cowboy attitudes encourage an open-door coverage to anybody who desires to have an excellent time. They invite comrades within the disguise of drag queens on stage for his or her encore earlier than letting the DJs and drag acts carry everybody into the early hours of the morning.
Warmduscher are a complicated band, however one which you’ll love. If you’d like an excellent time, they’re the band for you. It’s no secret that these guys know how one can placed on a celebration, however be ready to celebration all evening.
