Penetration/Morgellons @ Hairy Dog
What a superb night! The venue is perfect, with a decent stage and a really good sound system. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the drinks fairly priced ( for a change ). The music was great, with a good starting set, then the sublime Morgellons playing a blinder, as they always do - superbly crafted post punk songs played by extremely capable and talented musicians, with spot on vocals. Haven't seen Penetration for many years, and they didn't disappoint - all the great songs you expected, played as you expected, with all the energy of 1980. Pauline's vocals sounded as great as they did when she was an angry teenager - how can a voice not change at all after all this time? In short, a night of heaven on earth.

Too short
Only 18 songs I think, could have done with more from (all) Moving Targets ;) Pauline in fine voice

Penetration formed in Ferryhill, County Durham in 1976 at the very beginning of the punk rock phenomenon.
An exciting live prospect, respected by peers and dedicated fans, the group signed to Virgin Records in 1977 and released their first single, the punk classic "Don’t Dictate", that Autumn. Their debut album, Moving Targets was released in 1978 to critical acclaim and commercial success (reaching no. 22 in the UK album chart) and showcased a confident outfit that had already expanded its musical and creative vision. Their bass, drums and twin guitar line-up became a distinctive feature of the band’s sound, while singer Pauline Murray’s fearless yet vulnerable vocals fitted perfectly with their anthemic and often complex song arrangements
