Mojo Fucking Fury


MojoFURY

It is a typically stunning performance from Northern Irelands’ own masters of post-punk, math rock. The tent is slightly less than full, but the audience is enraptured by the maze of rhythms, hooks and hidden dangers lurking in their songs. It’s a breathtaking, emotionally unhinged performance that defies Irish comparisons and renders all witnesses to the event, confessing believers. A guest keyboards performance by Stuart Bell of the Panama Kings added another layer of musical glue to their already rich sound. It’s a visceral, rusty razor-edged performance that showcases the bands’ undeniable musical prowess, and the blood-red beating heart of darkness they wear so lightly on their poster paint-drenched sleeves.

Sounds like a crazy show. Much more exciting than the typical broadway stuff.
