It is only a few feet above the toilet and even less distance from the abyss that Munch Munch perform what is their first ever unplugged session. When listening to their debut 7” “Wedding” or their energetic, almost manic live shows it is hard to imagine what this powerful, eclectic music sounds like if you pull out the plug. Richard, Thomas, Sarah and Jack from Bristol, UK might not be sure as well when they ascend to the roof of Vienna’s music club Fluc on a ramshackly ladder – which is difficult enough with all the instruments plus beer and wine glasses – and watch out for a nice spot on the moon-like surface, viewing the crowd that waits for the start of their show from the top. A crowd that raises heads as soon as Sarah starts playing warm organ chords and the band kicks off with a quiet and intense version of their song “In The House” while trains pass by in the background. It’s a pity that we regrettably experienced some equipment troubles just this day and the sound of the recording is not as good as Munch Munch’s convincing unplugged debut deserved it to be.
