Pitchshifter
Seen at Reading 1998, Reading 1999 and Big Day Out 1999.
Pitchshifter kick ass. At Reading 1998 I was told to go and see them as they were supposed to be good, so I found my way to the tent they were playing in, anchored myself to a support pole, and hoped for the best. The crowd was like nothing I had seen before - violent, spitting, moshing, banging, and when CDs were thrown into the crowd and I got hold of one, I was kicked and stamped on until I let go of it. Vicious.
If you can hold your own in a crowd like that, you can begin to listen to the music. They did rock, admittedly. Their industrial dance style is obviously good for getting a lot out of your system and the music is aggressive and accusatory.
At Reading 1999 and Big Day Out, Pitchshifter were on a main stage. For once I didn't forge my way to the front of the crowd - I didn't need the violence - but danced, moshed and pogoed with friends from midway back in the crowd. This time they were great - I could both hear them and enjoy it.
In short, Pitchshifter rule. Just wear body armour, 'k?
