Dodgy spelling from the A Rum Do programme aside, there's nothing uncertain about Hereford's The Anomalies who kick the absolute arse out of anything we've seen all weekend. From the moment their beat boxer comes onstage and gets a decidedly un-hip-hop crowd screaming like schoolgirls (see our YouTube videos for evidence of his skills) to when rappers Mouth Master Murf and Goldseal dive into the audience and freestyle about whatever they see, they cut a path through a gobsmacked audience who've packed up all the chairs and tables just so they can have a dance.

DJ Mayhem and singers Chrissie Ego and Lo provide ample support for the inspired yapping of the three boys, Lo's soulful lungs in particular filling the Spiegeltent and adding shape to the raps. Either through artful bashfulness or genuine lack of tunes, the band haven't got an encore (hotly shrieked for by the Spiegeltent) so they do one of their songs again. Someone needs to get their sticky hands on this lot, they're bursting with talent and, lyrically, they're as sharp as knives.

From what we saw of it on Friday, Hereford hasn't done anything NEAR good enough to warrant keeping this lot locked there forever. Check them out at www.myspace.com/theanomalies.

Well, in other news we've packed up the tent and said goodbye to our plans for seeing Bugz In The Attic or Quantic just so's we can get back to London before we turn into pumpkins. Naturally, the sun is now streaming over everything. Bloody typical. See you next time A Rum Do...
