Couldn’t quite say Raglan is starved for live music but it’s not exactly Mecca for touring bands either. There’s a fairly steady diet of competent-but-very-ordinary reggae and somewhat-less-than-ordinary house, so last night was a rare treat.
The Shrugs are humans, made from flesh and The Trons are robots, made from Meccano. They’re both (mostly) from Hamiltron and they’re both excellent and that’s about all I have to say about that.
(Except to add that I bought perhaps the coolest bit of merch I’ve ever seen at a gig ever, pictured above. It’s a lathe-cut record made by Greg Locke (The Trons) and if it looks a little strange that’s because he cuts them on aluminium pie dishes. He claims that they sound awful. I haven’t played mine yet and I’m not sure if I will. Playing it would require punching a hole in the cardboard backing which would diminish the collectibility, for me anyway.)

The Trons bass player is pretty cute, something about that long neck and retro head. hee hee
