I doubt anyone has not heard of Faithless, they revolutionised music in the early 90s with tracks like Insomnia and God is a Dj.

I’ve seen them a few times over the years and they are always awesome but this gig was different. Their iconic lead sing Maxi Jazz died a few years ago, so it was unclear how the band would present itself without him.

This gig took place in an enormous warehouse in Bristol called the Document, very odd name for a venue and doesn’t reflect it’s personality at all, maybe Underground might have helped us know what to expect !

This gig took place in November 24. It was a great show, with the band tastefully using images of Maxi during key tracks and also introducing new ideas to their set, with cover versions of other bands classics which turned it into another amazing night of energy and emotions.

As you can see from the video, it was packed and everyone was having a fantastic time including my pals Pete and Sue who look like people from Top of hte Pops !

For those of you that don’t know, Shineon is a legendary gathering of Indy music fans at the Butlins resort in Minehead, Somerset.

It is wall to wall live bands for 3 days spread across the various venues within the holiday resort. People range from 20 year olds that grew up with Oasis loving parents to oldies like me that haven’t grown up.

Drinking and partying is a big part of the proceedings and people that arrive bright eyed and bushy tailed on Friday night look a lot rougher by Monday morning, but that’s life and we love it. I will be posting a few more gig stories from there in the future.

So these are snippets from the legendary 90’s dj duo the Utah Saints, who pioneered remixing classic songs with the new wave of rave and electronic music that was hitting the streets in 1991. I hope you go and check out some of their other tunes after this.

Bear in mind that this gig was going on at about 3pm on a wet Saturday afternoon, it really helped sort out those hangovers, but not for everyone as you can see !!
