Oxes / Lapsus Linguae / I'm Being Good / Foe - London,
The Verge Monday 17th June 2002
Lapsus Linguae had just hotfooted from down the road at The Monarch, where they played an opening set, but couldn’t resist an offer to play with their mates from Foe. Only one bar into the opening number and Penelope Collegefriend already had his trousers round his ankles playing the guitar, not unlike Captain Sensible used to do… except you couldn’t really visualise him wearing a tutu! This band continue to amaze, and are unlike any I can think of at the moment. From the all out shout of ‘The Terse Crimp’ with it’s confusing playing, it then suddenly and unexpectedly veers into the most beautiful piece of piano playing imaginable, and with lines such as “I can piss vinegar; I shit cement”, they certainly keep the audience transfixed. After a string breaks during another song, P.Collegefriend throws himself into the crowd while still singing, and then slam-dances with a couple of punters, which promptly stops them from annoying everyone else. They lost it a little in the middle of the set, but pulled it back magnificently to end a great show... and they out Oxed Oxes in the process!
