Great little venue matched equally by a great band with Balls. Raw energy, post punk feel, with Jehnny Beth posing like Johnny Rotten occasionally snarling at the audience but at the same time flirting with the men at the front below her 3" heels. Strangely just a one hour set but given its intensity, probably a good job.
Gemma Thompson an excellent guitarist making the most of the array of pedals at her command, standing right next to her feet on the edge of the stage, she was pretty nimble with her feet controlling the output.
So a great evening adventure out from our holiday house on Venice Beach. Sat Nav guided us swiftly to and back from the El Rey which with valet parking organised right outside for $10 was a little luxury worth taking. Can London take it up please. Drinks were shockingly expensive though.
9/10
