Anvil - The Parish, Huddersfield - 19 October 2016
A good size crowd was packed into The Parish to see Anvil
tonight. If anyone had come to see an evening of high art and culture they were
probably in the wrong place, but if you had come to have a good night and hear
some great rock n roll you definitely in the right place.
From the off it was clear we were in for a wild night with
Lips jumping into the crowd to play the opener March of the Crabs.
The evening was filled with classics like 666, Badass Rock N
Roll, Mothra, Oh Baby, Winged Assassins and This is Thirteen which everyone sung
along with.
Of course there was also plenty of clapping and fist
punching throughout the evening. Drummer Robb "Robbo" Reiner delivered a
power driving set, including a really great solo and the newest member of the
trio Chris Robertson kept it
all trundling along with his fine bass rifts. We had a couple of songs from the
current Anvil CD – Anvil is Anvil. The first being the crowd pleasing Daggers
and Rum (songs about pirates always go down well) and then Die for a Lie.
The evening was brought to an end with Metal on Metal and Lip was again back playing in the crowd. The band seemed to enjoy the night and the crowd all appeared to have a great time as well
