King Adora- April-The Hare and Hounds

Despite what has been a slightly unsettling six year gap in their career, as King Adora takes the stage it becomes quite apparent that not that much has chnaged. The androgynous six foot diseased corpse of Maxi is still instantly recognizable and more so is his outrageously slutty scream and ‘look at me I’m a fucked up tortured soul’ demeanor. After launching into ‘The Law’ from their debut album ‘Vibrate You’ the audience were given an instant reminder of why they loved the trashy transsexual hermaphroditic glam rock in the first place.

The band manage to recapture how intense songs like ‘Bionic’ sounded first time round whilst still giving the audience something new to get excited about. This combination of nostalgia mixed with anticipation for the future sets King Adora apart from other bands that have made similar come backs. Despite the gig being somewhat more laborious compared to the somewhat brief and unpredictable action packed performances of their past, King Adora still manage to evoke darkness and despair with a sense of humor unmatched by any other band in the UK music scene at the moment.
