	There's a good turnout to see Shush at the Hope & Anchor tonight - the biggest crowd I've seen the band play to so far. The punters are rewarded for venturing out on a Thursday night with the hardest rocking show I've seen the band perform to date. The sound isn't particularly good in this pub basement - Milena's vocals and guitar are too quiet. The drums however, and the loudest I've ever heard in this venue! This is because ex-AntiProduct thunder-merchant Simon 'The Gonk' is behind the kit beating seven bells out of it - and looking like he is thoroughly enjoying himself! Marina completes the ex-AntiProduct rhythm section and in spite of current serving AntiProduct member Milena featuring on lead vocals and rhythm guitar - this band sound nothing like AntiProduct. Actually, no-one sounds like AntiProduct, but no-one sounds like Shush either! This band have a pop edge to the polished and sweetly smooth vocals, but a strong underlying ROCK sound with their powerful rhythm section and twin guitar attack.  In spite of the less than perfect sound mix tonight, the band get a great reception and can consider it a job well done.

PS: I have no idea why there appears to be a Towers Of London picture from a completely different venue in this blog....
