So a famous night that will live long in the memory of all who were there. The band only escaped injury because Wagon Wheels aren’t as big as they used to be. The lollipop was followed by Curly Wurlys, Sherbet Dib Dabs and Wagon Wheels which were all hurled at the band in a bizarre (and possibly premeditated) confectionary assault. Just seconds after Grim declared “Not only is this the last show of the tour, it is also the last show we will ever do”, someone in the audience threw a lollipop onstage and it lodged directly in his eye. Sadly the show was drawn to a premature close. (Not the track of the same name from their debut album, but some actual sandwiches on a small platter). Marvellous stuff.Ī minutes silence was then held in memory of the tragedy of JLS‘s last album, before the band launched into “Bacon Sandwiches”. The crowd all joined in – singing in falsetto – to the now infamous chorus of “Don’t forget your spanner, Hannah” whilst Grim showed off his carpentry skills. Drummer Travis Perkins then played his signature solo which featured no less than four costume changes and several comedy impressions.Ĭrowd favourite “Vange Ange” followed, surely a homage to Ian Dury’s “Billericay Vicky”. Third song “Tuna Cabbage” proved to be a highlight, with the band forming a human pyramid behind Grim whilst his mike stand appeared to levitate in front of our eyes. Thankfully a member of the audience threw a glass of indeterminate liquid onstage and extinguished the flare-up. Similarly, disaster was narrowly avoided when organist Rupert St John Doctorwho did the same with his key-tar which instead of burning just melted and started to emit unpleasant toxic fumes. Intervention from a fire-marshall saved the axe-man’s blushes. The initial excitement soon turned to confusion as it became apparent that Scaffolding hadn’t brought a spare guitar. We began to suspect it would be a special night as guitarist Trad Scaffolding set fire to his Fender Osprey midway through the first song.
Last night, at Brixton’s legendary Custard Club KeDoDaDoDe impressed a curious crowd right from the moment lead singer Croydon Grim greeted the crowd with a cheerful “Hello Cardiff” and played the intricate opening arpeggios to latest hit single Cheese Jesus on his didgeridoo. Since their appearance on Sounds of 2013, new British band Ken Dodd’s Dad’s Dog’s Dead (or KeDoDaDoDe as fans know them) have built themselves up an enviable live reputation as a new British band that plays live music in front of people.
