Inkubus Sukkubus

Despite the stifling heat, we'd all known almost from doors opening that this was going to be something special. Zeitgeist Zero had already played a blinding set, and right from the first track, the Inkies were on absolutely top form. Bob, the new/old bass player, fitted the band like, well, a classic bass guitar, Tony and Candia were clearly totally up for it, and coupled with the venue's top notch PA and superb lighting, the result was a truly electrifying performance!

I've not captioned many of the shots below, because they tell their own story. It was a night of passion, of power, and of rising Summer magic.

Inkubus Sukkubus were due to headline Flock! at The Subculture on the weekend after Beltaine, 2010, however sadly the venue closed down a few weeks before the gig, and so a new location had to be found at very short notice. Cancelling the gig was out of the question, as the promoters, Leeds' infamous 'Sheepish', knew that many fans had booked hotels and made long distance travel arrangements to see the band. At first the search seemed fruitless, as at such short notice every other music venue in the city was fully booked, until the totally wonderful Eiger Music Studios stepped in.

Technically the Eiger is a rehearsal and recording facility, but they do have a large and fully equipped gig room with bar, lighting, etc, and were available on the appointed date. The gig was on!
