From a Gig Review post:
Zero Cipher
+ RSJ, Silent Scream and The Randoms.
Upstairs & The Garage.

This was a fun gig. It was in a small venue above the London venue The Garage and it was be no means packed. It all kicked off at about 8 with The Randoms. Indie rock but enjoyable I could hear the old Brit pop Oasis et al, some of the newer stuff Franz Ferdinand etc but also Weezer. I’d see them again as a support act but wouldn’t buy a CD or nothing. Silent Scream, what can I say? Well they have youth on their side anyway and maybe they could take a cue from their name and stop playing. They all could play(I’m pretty sure) they just couldn’t do it together. Honestly I now know what cacophony really MEANS. So after that RSJ blew the cobwebs away. From York and containing at least one member of Tung who I saw many moons ago with The Bloodhound Gang, they rocked. Think Madman Is Absolute, Residual Effect or Raging Speedhorn on their second album and you get an idea just great. I get to see them again supporting The Berzerker with Madman Is Absolute and Happy Face looking forward to that, will check them out on myspace and maybe buy a CD at that gig.
Zero Cipher didn’t make it on to the stage till 10:30 and were off by 11. Half an hour but a pretty powerful one. I don’t think they would have gained any new fans but with “Stupid People…”, “Death Of A Pornstar”, “Class A Ladykiller” a Kinks cover and a Depeche Mode cover they definitely pleased existing fans. A good gig but I’m not sure I’d go out of my way to see them again but we’ll see.

Later Days,
Halo.
