Live Review from Underground 13:
Persist are persistent. They have three soundchecks-cum-intros before they kicked off tonight’s show. A four piece. Very entertaining especially for the Cantonese speakers in the audience. All the band sings, they swap guitars around a lot and even the drummer switches with one of the guitarists. All done very smoothly. Playing seven songs altogether, all much of a muchness in the memory afterglow with the biggest cheer when second drummer jumped off the stage. A very lively band. Hints of “Last Days of May” and “Reaper” by Blue Oyster Cult and The Troggs. An interesting band that should only get better.
