(((o)))

Sunn o))) @ Koko. the only gig i've been to which has left me physically sick. 

was an overwhelmingly intense performance. it's impact physically felt as well as heard.

the Sunn o))) setup only includes 2 guitars and a moog but they're backed up by a mountainous wall of bass amps. there were
at least 20, probably more, it was difficult to count through the thick swirling haze. the sound they produce though is seriously
 immense. shockwaves pulsate through the air and floors, reverberating their way right into your guts. it's an extremely visceral
experience.

at about 40 mins in, there was a sudden 'crack!'. the sound of an amp exploding which emits a deep resonanting wave.
everyone in close vicinity noticeably feels it, including myself. it's actually too much to bear and i swiftly leave the room fearing
i'd vomit or pass out. after regaining some composure, i returned inside to enjoy the rest of the show. the following hour or so
 was a non stop barrage of thunderous doom and drone. i hypnotically drifted into a state of melancholic lull. intense.

 this was an amazingly fascinating experience. possibly the most visually exciting gig i've ever seen also but honestly not one
i'd like to experience again. it was heavy stuff which left me completely exhausted by the end. an overwhelming sense of
dread stubbornly lingered as i travelled home and i fought hard to contain a peculiar urge to cry.

desparately in need of cheering up now. craving a cuddle and some slightly more upbeat n 'wholesome' entertainment.
