Having contrived to be otherwise engaged for every single one of Vogon Laundromat's first-Saturday-of-the-month noise/metal/punk nights held in Newport in the spring, I was determined to make it along to the December edition. And a real treat it proved, for the cost of less than a pint. Buzz report here.
Part of the draw, admittedly, was paying a first visit to the Cab. A rough and ready space with a solid sound system, rudimentary cash-only can bar, random pole in front of the stage and heavily stickered toilet, it was everything I'd hoped for, and perfect for this kind of line-up.
For the second time in less than a week, I found myself pining for the Moon, and lamenting the fact that there doesn't seem to be anywhere quite like this left in Cardiff. But as photographer Keith rightly pointed out to me, perhaps it's for the best for the health of the South Wales music scene that Newport has something that Cardiff doesn't.
