Drookit Dogs

Prince Albert

Hot diggity Drookit Dogs! This Brighton-based band certainly know how to put on a mighty tight show and have an energy about them more infectious than TB. Packing the Prince Albert to the rafters, the audience were treated to a deliciously unique post-punk sound, all pounding drums and skank-inducing riffs, and a good old-fashioned stomp. Captivating the crowd from start to finish, the Dogs crafted an atmosphere of wild abandon and special mention must go to Matt Oldfield for his intensely captivating, rasping vocals; the man has a voice that could lead a revolution. This was the confident, self-assured performance of an explosive band set for a glittering future and a reminder of just how bountiful Brighton's local scene is; truly first-class Fringe.

Prince Albert, 9 May, 8:30pm (12:00pm), £3.00, fpp 33
