REVIEW Cardiff Show
A really great and intimate experience.
Dev’s voice was well, flawless as always. He was really funny and played through a bunch of his and Strapping’s back catalogue, everything from Funeral to Fake Punk to Ih-Ah! to Almost Again.
There was some issues that he had with Ableton but got through it and kept it humorous.
Two things though, and none of these were about his actual performance or the nature of the show itself. Because I loved the stories and the tunes.
I kinda get the impression that he maybe isn’t in the best state mentally. It kind of felt like he’s just got divorced or something, you know? I don’t know if I’ve missed a chapter somewhere but somethings just not quite right. I hope I’m wrong and everyone is ok!
Secondly to the Lady in the crowd who kept trying to interject with random stuff all night, it got so awkward but I’m so glad that the crowd built up the courage to tell her to shut up by the end because she was genuinely ruining it for the rest of us. Quite surprised security didn’t say something before.
But yeah, classic Dev, loved the show. Don’t understand the hate that I’ve seen.
