Live Review: Peter Perrett
Live at the Moth Club, Hackney October 19th
This tiny club was sold out for the launch of Peter Perrett’s third solo LP, The Cleansing. The set was orientated towards his solo material, with only four songs from The Only Ones – The Big Sleep, Flaming Torch, The Beast and (of course) Another Girl, Another Planet. The judicious use of violin nudged the sound towards the Velvet Underground first LP. After a slightly subdued start, the band were in full flight for War Plan Red which featured Jamie Perrett’s lead guitar and new US drummer John Cowsill. Fellow American Vicki Peterson from The Bangles gave vocal support on encore Someone Who Cares. An enticing taster for the forthcoming European tour.
