Dept. GSL! Undercover Reporting Team
Operation: Trip
Location: Dublin Castle, Camden
So we left the office last night to head over to the Dublin Castle to watch Trip. Our man on the inside Will was floating around the bar as we walked in. Getting himself ready for some high-class synth playing stage antics! Trip himself is wondering around relaxed but ready. It’s been a few months since I last saw them play in Koko to a fairly big crowd, but I’m warned that it’s dead inside the venue section of the pub. I peeked in to have a look… Yes its dead, another same old, same old band playing to their parents who are standing at the front with their camcorder ready.
Finally its Trips turn to take the stage. We saunter in most of the bar clientele coming in as well. The room is much fuller but by no means near capacity. Oh dear… But Trip starts in typically energetic fashion leaving few thoughts on how small the crowd is. It’s a much rowdier set than any of the recorded material would suggest and they burst through some heavy tracks Trip poetically recalling the stories of his being.
The two stand out tracks of the night ‘Laundromat’ and ‘Who’s That’ are big hitting punk/ UK rap style bangers. The band are tight and damn exciting to watch. The energy they deliver is full on and their heavier tracks are clearly the crowd favourites.Its just strange how the venue was not full. They should be drawing a big crowd. They’re good and they run wild with a fresh look at The Streets styled story telling.
They are a band you have to check out. Watch them live, its worth the few quid to see them.
