After instantly forgettable local band Sintonic [1] we have the hotly tipped Romeo Must Die. To say this band were energetic would be a massive understatement.

What happens when you combine one of the leading lights of shock rock / metal with a rabid sold out Brixton Academy? You get Rob Zombie‘s first London live show in sixteen years. Unfortunately for all of us Mr Zombie was a little late in taking the stage, and the hoards got a little restless….
