BRUTE FORSYTH- Who the hell comes up with Brute Forsyth as the name of a musical project under which you will be mocked, shamed and used during time served in our shocking excuse for a national music industry. My only guess is that ‘ Golden Tony’ ( bass and vocals, pictured left) is a genius, pure and simple. He has done away with most of the common hurdles of starting a band in one almighty defiant gesture of simply not having any songs, more like, plastic bags full of themed riffs,  like ‘ John Barnes’ a 5 min grinding drum n bass overhaul of white noise dedicated to the once untouchable footballing skills of mr Ian Rush during the late 80’s.

Brute’s 3rd live appearance at club Useless on tue 23rd is the last of a ‘best of 3’round of Musical Russian roulette, out of which our money is on the pair emerging as liverpool’s answer to un-holy audio gobshite-ry of the highest order. Good noise and a good fucking name.

CLUB USELESS is the club land still born offspring of ZOMBINA & THE SKELETONES, held monthly in The Zanzibar, Liverpool. Between sailing their brand of Horror punk around the four corners of the world playing with the likes of The Damned and ………… The Zombina’s have been curating wildly varying line ups to accompany them in their Tuesday night twisted take on the old style house band. Between growing tours which saw them playing 3 different Halloween parties this year, they filmed a video for their latest 7” release “ I Was A Human Bomb For The FBI”  @ Useless and have been known to house a  secret upstairs bar for a.P.A.t.T to go about their twisted musical mumblings- known as a.P.A.t.T Island.
