Well If I had known about it I would have cancelled all engagements dusted off my gig gear and got my butt down there!!!!! GUTTED - they must do another one - Cliff Ian and I will be there if they do for SURE! Can't believe it - Pleased that Andy let me know anyway (even if it was after the gig)
See you next time

I've never seen the point of re-unions at all...until now!
I think this will go in my top 10 of Wolfies gigs purely as it seemed like the story had ended 15 years ago at an instore at Rough Trade shop, not really the way to go out for me. Close your eyes and they sounded the same, Dave's shirt was very cool, great set list, they obviously really enjoyed it so they might do it again after one or two domestic events are out the way. Shame one or two people didn't make it, where was Gavin with his camera? You missed something special. Also a mention for The Project who were worth checking out.

Speaking as one who missed the bloody reunion owing to crappy night shifts, and a long time Wolfies devotee to boot I must demand that they be made to do it again soon. Same venue, same line-up, hell, even the same set-list would do me (as long as they encore with No Soap this time) and I would die a happy man.
Please!

All those who stood in sweaty unison and watched four old men keeping music vile will not forget it in a hurry. Although it's been a long time since they played together and this was the closest your likely to get to an original line up. The wolfhounds music still kicks like a rabid mule willing to rip your fingers as they twitch to the real sound of Garage music.I followed the wolfies from my teens played the odd gig or two as support. and it was a pure joy to see them at it again they proved that great music doesn't sit quietly in the corner if it's good enough it fucking growls.
DUCK

When I was a 16 year old scamp growing up in Dunstable, the local record shop had a number of records whose covers intrigued me. The Foetus All Nude Revue. Talulah Gosh. The Bambi Slam. One weekend I took the plunge and bought The Wolfhounds' "Son Of Nothing". It wasn't that great, to be honest, but I sought out their other records regardless. The marvellous album "Bright And Guilty" was next, along with "Unseen Ripples From A Pebble", and various 12" EPs. The skewed guitar riffs - at obtuse angles to the 4 note melodies - were irrisistable. I joined The Keatons in 1989, and we were lucky enough to play with them at The Falcon, and later at Busby's (what's now The Mean Fiddler, underneath The Astoria.) They were glorious – centre stage not taken by the singer, Dave Callahan, but bent-double guitarist Andy Golding, squeezing out immense riffs and chords, sweating like a pig.

Tonight they decided to reform for a one off gig in Camden to celebrate their 20th anniversary. It was odd seeing 4 overweight men attempt to recapture their former glory, but it worked.
The first time I saw them I asked Callahan: "will you be playing Rent Act?" It was one of their singles, and one of their best tunes. He sneered slightly. "No, we won't," he replied. But bands that reform after 15 years of inactivity have a much better idea of which of their songs are great, and which aren't, and tonight we were treated to a greatest hits set. I can't pretend that it was a comfortable experience, standing in a venue in Camden with other 30-somethings, watching 30-40 somethings batter their guitars out of shape, but I'm glad I was there.

Blown Away
Its steamy hot in a dark and dingy pub in Camden Town - and I've died and gone to heaven. The Wolfhounds - "the world's most under-rated band (TM)" - are playing a 20th anniversary reunion gig at The Buzzard near Mornington Crescent. They (like the audience) are a big larger than the last time I saw them - in 1990 - and there's a lot less barnet about, but as soon as they start playing "Non-specific song" all my fears of being disappointed dissolve. The set covered all of the back catalogue, from early singles to tracks from the final LP, and all of the songs were played with the same fury as all those years ago at the Camden Workers' Social Club. Standout songs included "Anti-midas touch", "Another hazy day on the lazy A" and "Skyscrapers" but they could have played for a couple of more hours to do justice to the back catalogue. Hopefully this gig wasn't just a one-off - I'd love the opportunity to show more people what I've been raving about all these years.

Last night at the Buzzard was brilliant. Hope somebody recorded it...
