The Martians – Scotland Is A Great Big Evil Face

Friday, 5 August, 2005 — filed under: edfest

I’ve got a soft spot for The Martians, having previously enjoyed their busker-friendly War of the Worlds a few years ago. But this is a mysteriously different kettle of fish.

All the evil bits of Scottish history wrapped up in some dodgy sub-Satanics sounds like a decent enough show, but it gets kinda lost in the “we only wrote the script yesterday” presentation. They’re still fine musicians, but they should have stuck to singing.

go/no-go? NO-GO
