Venue magazine - live review


By Anna Britten

From some time in 2003? 
We think this was for a gig in Bristol if memory serves, but unfortunately we didn't keep a record...

"Glasgow's Lapsus Linguae -in matching goth-metal uniforms- serve the night's third helping of post/art/math-rock with grinding guitars, walloping basslines, pesky rhythms and suicidal vocals, but this time there's a semi-classical piano frill. The effect is often mind-blowing and has earned them priapic praise -so Venue would never tell them to their face that the old joanner sometimes makes them come across a bit Bruce Hornsby. It's complex, confusing material. Yet, like the meaning of life, maybe we aren't supposed to understand but simply assure ourselves: that's just the way it is."
