Ears ringing, hearts pumping and smiles
plastered to a widened grin as Australian natives DZ Deathrays leave
the stage of Manchester's Factory on their last British date until
festival season 2013. If tonight’s performance was anything to
go by I'm sure they will be booking a fuller tour after the hype
machine gets its rusty claws into the boys . But if we were to rewind
the clocks back half an hour to before the shockingly undersold show,
the thought that Shane Parsons and Simon Ridley could reproduce the
urgency and power behind their critically acclaimed debut album
Bloodstreams was questionable. However, as soon as the duo take to
stage and the opening notes of Bloodchills is blasted around the
venue all doubts have been quashed and the doubters are left feeling
foolish. The duo are completely in sync and their self proclaimed
party/thrash fills every crevice of the venue reverberating in the
rib-cages of all in attendance. The pinnacle for me is the
performance of Gebbie Street, which came to the attention of many
after a superb fan made video featuring black and white clips of
acting A-Lister's in their glad rags acting very naughty indeed. The
gig seems to escalate in energy with every passing moment and the
heavy guitar lines and deep thumping and crashing of the drums
penetrates the room leaving the audience somewhat awestruck as DZ
Deathrays leave the stage after a Ramones length performance filled
with the same intensity. DZ Deathrays are definitely ones not to miss
and a must see at any festival that has been wise and quick enough to book
them.
