So
last Friday, that was the 4th September, the Von Hertzen Brothers
hot from their Prog Award acoustic appearance, played the Underworld in Camden.
I did think this was rather a strange choice of venue as the last time I saw
them, which was only in April; they played the much bigger Dome in Tufnell Park.
I did challenge their Record label boss as to why, and the short and easy
answer was that it was the only available London venue. Not that I was
complaining as there is a club on afterwards so there is a 10’o clock curfew,
which meant I was tucked up in bed on the same day as the gig! Now I’m not sure
whether it was because the Underworld was packed to the gunwales but the sound
was gloriously spot on. Siblings Kie, Mikko and Jonne who were joined, as
usual, by drummer, also called, Mikko and keyboardist Juha, looked like they were
having a whale of a time, especially Mikko, the brother not the drummer,
although.....and is it just me but aren’t the Brothers starting to look like
the Bee Gees? Jonne is Robin, Mikko is Barry and Kie Maurice.
