Underground Heroes @ Fat Sams

Any shameful prejudice that might have been harboured concerning a band sporting sportswear tonight has its head mercilessly stoved in

It's the second of the Underground Heroes' two evenings at Dundee cattle market Fat Sam's and the crowd is sparse. Uncharacteristically so, if the Chatham band's reputation for drawing in Dundonians like a promise of free fortified wine is to believed. Y'see, their associations with mischievous local rapscallions The View has brought them quite a following in these parts and, like a good sycophantic rock star, frontman Aaron Dollimore takes the stage in a shell suit honouring the local football team. Any shameful prejudice that might have harboured concerning a band sporting sportswear tonight has its head mercilessly stoved in, not with a 99p bottle of turpentine laced cider as is the city's tracksuited tradition, but with 45 minutes of frenzied, thousand-mile-an-hour, Jam-esque, punk-rock. This is truly exhilarating and refreshing stuff and the audience, limited as it is, go crazy for every dirty, sweat-soaked second of it. [Les Ogilvie]
