Matthew Bushwacka! 8 at Homebass, monthly at Alaska. Next date 28 Oct.
Jane, currently unemployed
-They’ve got Bushwacka and he rocks! I saw him at Homelands and he plays house, acid and techno with a funky beat goin' on.
- I like The Jengaheads as well - they’re a bit more chilled out down the stairs where it’s nice and cool. Up here you've got the sweaty, funky action goin' on.
- If you've never been here before, I’d warn people not to be wearing jeans in this club and I would let them know they're guaranteed a good quality night with top 015. As for the rating, I’d give Bushwacka 10 and The Jengaheads 9 1/2.
