BY taking over a London Tube train for an impromptu gig last year, The Others not only brought new meaning to underground music, but earned themselves a following of mischievous maniacs who thrive in a confined atmosphere.

Perfect for the Wedgewood Rooms.

For these fanatics, the thrashing of drums and the hard bass - from what resembles a traumatised Klingon warrior - is a calling to jump high, kick hard and test the limits of the stage barrier.

The four-piece band feeds on this commitment, and lead singer Dominic Masters gels with the hungry crowd.

Driving them forward until what starts out as a solid rock gig, ends with a mad stage storming led by an overwhelming clan of crowd surfers.

Making an impressive jump into the rock scene, and with tracks Lackey, and Stan Bowles, The Others bring an attitude of defiance that rivals contemporary acts.

They just need to connect more with each other instead of playing as individual musicians aimed at cameras and videophones, something surely to come with experience.

Which is guaranteed after a performance that leaves everyone with a silly grin on their face - having just seen the beginnings of a band worth keeping a close eye on.
