Zodiac Mindwarp & The Love Reaction: Town & Country Club, London

THE RECENT penetration of the top 30 by the debut Zodiac Mindwarp single, 'Prime Mover', was one of the more pleasing events in this year's rock calendar. Zodiac's formula — hard rock parody with severe comic overtones — has been well exploited by Mercury/Phonogram to date, and so it was unsurprising to find the Town & Country hosting a boisterous and well-attended evening with Mr Mindwarp and his leather-clad Love Reactions at the top of the bill.
