IS IT ART OR IS IT OBSCENE

02/10/1999

A large crowd has gathered to witness the unfolding phenominum of the Magnificent seven, a modern pop band that isn't creating a stir with the censorship powers that be of our once great nation.
I thought I'd better check them.

My first observation was that there were only official six members throughout the performance but with later research it transpired that 'baby talc' was unavailable again , something to do with past misdemeanors. this however did not detract from the show as a couple of people they insisted on calling 'henry' guested to fill the void.

The show itself was a strange melting pot of visuals, smells and sounds and to describe them all would be nigh on impossible. To give you a general idea I will run through some of the highlights that I enjoyed;

Throughout the set a video screen backdrop played vivid images of a middle age housewife involved in the act of felatio with an Alsatian dog. I found this to be very tasteful in an Andy Warhol kind of way.

The music ebbed and flowed through different styles, genders and pace and I felt that the songs "cigarettes and alcohol" and "sex and drugs and rock and roll " carried a very poignant message to the gathered adolescents amongst the audience. A particular favourite of mine was "Wet Dream" the subtle woo your woman into submission lyrics had me moist beyond my wildest belief.

Another visual highlight was when the chap known as the ear trumpet bit the head off a fully grown donkey  whilst still playing an intricate solo over the break on food for thought, putting the legend of a certain Mr. Osbourne to shame.

The band as a whole kept up their macho image by consuming pints of tequila during the performance and even the sporadic outbreaks of violence between each other and the audience did little to interrupt their flow. Even the arrival of the noise police from the local council was met with the response of "you can fuck right off mate" and he too was given a sound kicking before being chased from the venue.

The band finished up the show with their own version of Led Zeppelin's "whole lotta love" whilst the singer spat vitriol and sung the lyric of Ivor Biggun's "the winkers" song over the top, a true masterpiece.

To sum up this band are great entertainment, good family fun and I would recommend everybody who has not yet seen them to make the effort.
thanks again boys, for a great night out.
