Raging Speedhorn performed at the Waterfront Studio, Norwich, UK. The first time I saw this band was back when they released We Will Be Dead Tomorrow. They played at JFKs in Plymouth, UK (a venue that may have been renamed C103 by that time). Tight exchanges and exceptional synergy between the two vocalists as they ploughed through old and new material with ease. It was killer to hear some tracks from the first couple of albums. I was hoping for The Hate Song during the encore but you cannot get everything you want. I left my dice at home and drank one non-alcoholic beer. Am I evil or mental?
