SSS (SHORT SHARP SHOCK) Take UK Thrash To The Masses At London's 5,000 Capacity Brixton Academy
August 15, 2007, 17 years ago
Fresh from playing a sell-out gig with US thrashers MUNICIPAL WASTE at the the London Underworld on Friday, SSS (SHORT SHARP SHOCK) are set to take their underground thrash sound straight to one of the city's largest venues.
On October 3rd the Merseyside crossover thrashers will play their largest show to date by supporting KILLSWITCH ENGAGE at London's Brixton Academy. This news comes just as a wave of excitement surrounding the thrash scene in the UK has escalated, following the release of SSS's Short Sharp Shock in June, and the upcoming release Enter The Grave from Huddersfield thrashers EVILE on August 27th.
Speaking about the upcoming gig, SSS vocalist Foxy states: "Reason we are doing this gig is when are we ever likely to step onto a massive stage like that ever again? I dont know how many thrash bands would fill a venue that big. But KSE asked for us and we said yer. Colchester is the day before as well. Eggs, sweaty socks, used undies and pigs heads will delicately flutter down on the crowd. We playing London on October 13th as well. Venue TBC.
Rememeber how SEND MORE PARAMEDICS went down when they supported OFFSPRING? They got all sorts lobbed at 'em. Did 'em no harm and went down in history for doing it. It will be the crowd that needs a blues brothers chicken net. Not us."
For a taste of what the Brixton Academy can expect, watch 'The Beast' performed live at the Underworld on August 10th here.
