Who would have thought it? The Bigger the God are ten years old this
year, and still they have more inventiveness than all the other bands put
together. Tonight's gig was a little trailer for the proper birthday
celebrations in November, and played mainly songs from the last album. These
songs show the diversity of the band. They aren't afraid of not treading on the
normal music routes and influences. For example, the new single Let's Make
Love has a samba rhythm, and with the seductive voice of David Cowles-Hamar,
why would there be any reasons not to believe the message of the song?
That is the other strength of the band. Apart from the way they make use of
different dance rhythms (waltzes, sambas etc) David has now perfected the art of
getting the audience onto the band's side. All the attention is drawn to him,
and the rest of the band are just in the background. Watching The Bigger the God
is actually more like watching David star in a film, than watching a
band.
