Igorrr/Otto Von Schirach – Manchester, Club Academy – 15 April 2022

Posted by | Apr 17, 2022 | ,

After being greeted with a warm spell just in time for Easter weekend, Jase W decided to make the most of it by going to a dark room to get his ears blasted to bits by one of the most bizarre bands in the metal scene. Unfortunately, Drumcorps have had to drop out, which is a real shame, but we’ve still got a support act in the form of Otto Von Schirach, who our resident gigaholic had been informed is similarly as weird as Igorrr…

Until now, there had really been nothing particularly “good” about “Good Friday” in this particular corner of the Überverse. Due to seriously out-dated licensing laws, you couldn’t buy an alcoholic drink before 5pm – and then, all the pubs had to shut again just five hours later! Which sort of made it pretty pointless in terms of organizing things like gigs… Thankfully, this weekend marked the turning over a new leaf, and the little province of Norn Iron finally caught up with the rest of the civilized world and realized that not all of us wish to mark the execution of the world’s most notorious terrorist by enforced abstinence. And what better way to celebrate this long overdue awakening than with a triple dose of some serious heavy metal riffage? No, we can’t think of one either…

If you’re already a regular reader of Über Rock and are not familiar with TGTB&TZ and their anarchic brand of tongue-in-cheek skate punk-infused action rock, then you might as well crawl back under your bed and jerk off to your daddy’s posters of Agnetha and Anna-Frid or the Spice Babies… Well, we have been championing the Zuglies’ cause since aeons before the cool kids in the mainstream media discovered that they actually are a highly relevant force in the Scandi-rock scene, standing toe-to-toe with the likes of Turbonegro, The Hellacopters and even the mighty Kvelertak and beating them down faster than BoJo realizing that a birthday party is actually that…

Walking into the Attic bar a couple of minutes late, Lesley M found there was already a wall of sound as three-piece local raw-punk band Blow Up Dog ripped through their first track. Although she didn’t catch it all, they were definitely not messing about, and the small crowd were already held by the music and the personality of bassist and singer Tom Rowan. Wearing a T-shirt that said ‘’ALL TORIES ARE CUNTS’’ he was direct and confident – which you really have to be to play a venue like this.
