It takes a lot to outdo your support acts when you regularly choose support acts like Invasion, famous for a singer whose "party piece" involves taking off her top while setting fire to the bass drum. But then again, it takes a lot to be Bo Ningen, still the London live circuit's best unkempt secret. Four Japanese long-hairs who ride the fine line between chaos and even-more-chaos, deftly balanced on half-a-dozen Faust records and the complete works of Damo Suzuki. Five records in, this remains the sort of thing all the best people listen to while rolling around naked covered in paint as part of art happenings.
