Gonzales - Royal Festival Hall




Hot footed it down to 'Jarvis Cocker's Meltdown festival' at the Royal Festival Hall on the south bank of the Thames on Saturday, to see Chilly Gonzales (as you all know, my favorite artiste!). Gonzo was as fantastic as ever. Gonzo was backed up with Mocky on the drums, and between them they belted out some quality drum and piano action, before kicking in with some gonzo "hard touches". Hard touches, because he hasn't had any "Hits". Audience participation was partaken, whistling the choruses to said "hard touches" and humming a melody for Gonzo to jam along to. Rich, who came with me, was gobsmacked at A: How good on the piano he was, and B: How damn funny he can be. A great gig and a great day.
