The Best Performance I've Ever Seen

As a drummer and musician, my jaw was on the floor all night. I've seen easily hundreds of bands..... but I KNOW I'll NEVER see a better drummer or tighter band!! These guys aren't human. They are aliens!! No human can perform with such mind-blowing excellence. I've never been to the Kentish Forum before. What a fantastic venue!! Soooo many people in there but it didn't feel squashed in like sardines!! 47 out of 10 for the whole experience!!!
