Arts Theatre Club, 50 Frith Street, W1. 7.30pm - costs 6 quid (5 if you're deaf). Apparently RAMLEH are messing around with power electronics again, but even if they're sticking to geetar pyrotechnics for this gig, it's bound to be gloriously noisy. UNIT= Hackney Chinese Youth Centre's incendiary anarcho-nihilist cabaret troupe, as featured on Resonance FM. And someone else I've never heard of. Attend!

No, but UNIT did some incredible instrumental punk piece with U-J playing flute; they were fronted by a small, angry-looking girl with a tambourine, Andy was in cricket garb and playing drums.

Ramleh were like some tedious pub rock jam, just dull strumming going nowhere. They didn't even look like they were enjoying it. The third act started off playing 5th rate drone, with the 'wacky' frontman wearing a gasmask, and did an electro-industrial cover of that Steve Ignorant Crass song lampooning Daily Mail readers ('If there was no government, wouldn't it be chaos? etc), they were really contrived and boring.

Chris Low still looks about 12.
