Why so angry?

Why?, with Grayson Gilmour, San Francisco Bathhouse, reviewed by Dawn Tratt
THAT tool who stood on my foot as hard as he could then growled at me when I squeezed to the front of Why? ruined the start of the concert.
Then some weirdo screamed at my mate, on behalf of his timid mousy girlfriend, like someone out of the 1920s. While smoking a cigar after the gig, the lead singer Jonathan “Yoni” Wolf apologised for his “mental” fans – it seems these two oddballs are not your average Why? guys. Their indie Jewish “hip hop”, which includes rapping and poetry set to rocking rhythms, had the more chilled out people at the back raising their arms to the heavens – sans agro.
The music was fun to dance to, but it didn’t change my life – like it did support act and local cat Grayson Gilmour’s when he saw them in France. To be honest, I thought Gilmour was better than Why? with his pretty chaotic howls and cacophony of thrashing instruments reminiscent of Radiohead and Ben Folds Five.
