Cobra Killer Night Photo Review

Berglind opened the night with an endearingly punky show. Great songs that tinkled and thrashed in all the right places. Alone onstage with just a mike, a cd player, her lyrics and a puppet.

Berglind croons...erm...the crowd swoons.

At this point Gina V. Dorio (Cobra Killer - Monika Enterprises) was singing about venereal disease.

A great night was had by all, and now I remember a funny moment when someone, who shall remain nameless, offered me their sweat. I'm really pleased with the way Berglind's photos came out but less so with the Cobra Killer ones which seem to accentuate the tittilating side of the show and not what I thought was the most gripping aspect which was the spontaneous and epileptic energy of their performance. The impression I got and which I treasure from the Cobra Killer gig was of two girls who had escaped from a mental institution stole the first clothes they found, slept rough in some brambles and then, not knowing quite how, found themselves onstage at the Nouveau Casino.
