Over the course of and hour and a half Guernsey's own masters of modish power pop tore through what must have been almost every song in their repertoire leaving a sweat and beer soaked audience ecstatic and wanting more.

Things however did not start off so brightly, after a rousing rendition of 'I Don't Love You Anymore' the band suddenly stopped for a worryingly extended period of around 10 minutes. Due, I believe, to the breaking of a string on one of the guitars. However, after repairs had been performed they launched into 'Fight the Power' and never looked back. Throughout the set Mark Le Gallez proved to be the consummate front man providing a true centre of attention. A real dynamo of energy he never seemed to stop moving, whether he was dancing while singing or taking a leap from atop the kick drum or even off the bar and almost bringing the ceiling fan down with him. His energy it seemed proved infectious as the bar, which before hand had been comparatively sedate, soon livened up with people on their feet and dancing both right down the front and all the way at the back of the narrow pub. The rest of the band also gave off a similar energy with guitarist Steve Lynch and drummer Stuart 'Ozzy' Austin acting as secondary focal points of the band next to Mark.

While bassist Nick Dodd may not have possessed the same outward energy as these three he held the sound together with exemplary musicianship and recent addition Garrick Jones on saxophone sadly spent most of the evening hidden behind the speakers, due to the size of the stage. Although his performance and few moments of visibility showed that he fit in just right with the rest of the bands at time manic energy levels. When listening to the bands debut record 'Jenerator X' it gave me the impression that it must have captured the live spirit of the band, however upon seeing them in the flesh I realise that it only managed to capture a small part of the experience. Thee Jenerators played as tightly as any band I have seen play live and proved themselves to be one of the Guernsey’s top live talents. Across the three sets they played almost non stop, the real highlights came in the form of 'French Disco', 'Who The Hell Is Frank Wilson?' and 'Shakin' Shake' although no point could have been described as a lowlight.

Following last weeks troubles with complaints about noise from their aborted gig at Les Cordeliers, tonight Thee Jenerators played as if they had something to prove, and they certainly proved to be one of the most high energy acts on stage in the island. Ending the set with multiple encores and then finally finishing things by destroying the drum kit the band came across as clearly being there for all the right reasons, to have fun and play some good old rock 'n' roll while taking it all seriously enough to do it very well. If they're upcoming new album catches half the talent and energy on display tonight it will be something truly special, as this is clearly a band that thrives in a live setting and knows how to work it to make a brilliant show for all involved, both band and audience alike. |
