The band on stage are two older men. One wears a black tee-shirt with the slogan “stop genocide, end apartheid, free Palestine”. He speaks into a microphone. In front of him is a table with a computer and digital music equipment. The second man who is to the right of the first plays drum pads with drum sticks
Snapped ankles band defy description visually. Think of a post apocalyptic landscape where the air is too thick to breathe and people’s faces are covered. They wear green headlamps to cut through the smog and scraps of clothing (in the style of Mr Susan). Their faces are covered. The singer in the centre of the picture holds a post with a microphone lashed to it. Either side of him are two other men playing synths and digital devices
Two gigs, surprisingly different vibes this weekend #TestDepartment - #Whitstable and #SnappedAnkles - #Margate
