Pendulum rock Camden
A sea of bodies is swaying slowly and cheering to a pre-recorded video of other artists that have played the iTunes festival. This was the calm before the storm. The introduction was over and the entrance began.
With a swirling beat and building noise Pendulum took to the stage and for an hour or so had Koko literally shaking. From my view in the balconies all I could see was an endless swaying, sweating, jumping, pushing, bouncing orgy of fans. The floor at Koko was a giant mosh pit and it didn’t stop throughout the entire set.
The floor shook constantly throughout the set and it wasn’t just the bass blasting through but also the sheer number of people moshing and dancing was causing the balcony to shake.
Now Pendulum wasn’t the kind of thing I would normally listen to however a friend is in the band so thought I’d go and see what all the fuss is about. The show was superb, hugely sweaty, fun and noisy and everyone seemed to love it. I loved the live show. However it’s not really my thing for listening to at home. If you get the chance see them live, it’s a proper rockout to Drum and Bass show!
