Chickenhawk – Live At Leeds

Quality multi-faceted riff-based noise-monsters Chickenhawk took to centre stage, in the middle of the room, at around 8:30 last night as part of the ‘Live At Leeds‘ event, at The Library Pub in Leeds.

Very loud, and interesting / entertaining. These soothing minstrels produce a big sound, even with their unorthodox ‘drag all the gear into the middle of the room and play as loud as we can’ approach to playing live.

Unfortunately, being in the middle of the room meant there was very little ambient light hitting the band so I had to rely solely on the flash , and frequently using it in ‘2nd curtain sync‘ mode to achieve the warmer feel, with the streaks of light while also freezing the action.

For me, this technique is a bit hit and miss – but occasionally I get decent enough results.
