Coil
I just came back from seeing the band Coil in the Paradiso here in Amsterdam. I paid 40 guilders. They played for 40 minutes. That's a guilder a minute. A guilder per VERY LOUD minute.
I've seen lots of bands in my life and some of them were very loud. Ministry were loud. Neubauten were load. But nothing was ever as loud as Coil. It was physically loud. I felt like I got hit by a tank. The vibrations were making me ill.
It was... 'interesting', in a 'never again' way. I love Coil by the way, they've made some bloody good records. Scatology. Horse Rotorvator. Love's Secret Domain. I didn't know they'd moved on from their 'dance' phase to a 'loud' phase.
This review of a recent show is pretty accurate.
I realise I have nothing coherent to say about the show, except that I was there with a dear friend and that was the best of it.
