Filthy Few LIVE!

Firas landed in Hoxton again for installment number five of Filthy Few LIVE!. This time there was no teenage singer covered in bubblewrap spazzing needlessly out of control. None of the DJ's had the guts to play Britney Spears and Albert kept his trousers on.

However, it was a triumphant evening.



Hulk Hogan described it as
'Classy; a regal testament to parenting, an essential social glue in a time of shadows and strangers. A real competitor to Wrestlemania'


Firas managed to sift through the rubbish on myspace and find three incredible live acts. DJ's Rachel Barton, Christian K and The STDJ's are obviously no match for the mighty DJ Funbongo but they kept the crowd jigging with some 'banging' tunes. There were a few complaints about a distinct lack of 'Ja Rule' but that's an area for improvement.



First up were the Frenchies 'Madamawitch'.



Funbongo Says: Moody Funk

Firas Filthy Few Says: Two parts French, one part English - Carol wowed the crowd with her enchanting vocals as Funbongo 'lorded' it up at the front dressed in his favourite village people get up

The (Mighty) Svengalis




Funbongo says: Good for a band with guitars, fantastic banter with the crowd and genuinely entertaining.

Firas Filthy Few screams: The Svengalis demonstrated their worth with rip roaring tunage, and entertaining segue banter. Energetic songs with well written lyrics showed why these guys are considered hot property at the minute akin to the Cajun Dance Party sort of VIBE!

The Neon Plastix




Funbongo says: Duran Duran meets Clockwork Orange - a real treat.

Firas Filthy Few yelps: The final act had down trekked down to Londres Town from far up North (Funbongo get a map) - with their electronic key's and synths. The Neon Plastix, put on a sterling performance for the Filthy Few masses - we loved it, they loved it, everyone loved it. All was gravy.
