Grymm at The Pipeline 7-3-19

Having been suitably impressed by their support at Allusinlove a second jaunt to see Grymm perform was always on the cards and they didn't wait long before dropping news of another support at The Pipeline.
As a venue it may well be the smallest in Brighton and possibly the smallest actual venue I've ever seen a band perform in. The Pipeline's downstairs bar is tiny and there's not a lot of space upstairs either. It looks remarkably like someones living room more than a live venue.
Nevertheless after a couple of warm up beers it was time to head upstairs, arriving just in time to see the opening notes of their set. Grymm were the openers and they began with the same 2 unreleased tracks as last time before going into the more familiar Gravity they were every bit as accomplished as before. There were clearly a number of people there for them and the whole show had an intimate feel to it. There were jokes between the band and audience, a loan of some tissues from one punter, audience participation was brought in via some assistance in preventing the kick drum from falling off the stage and best of all a competition to guess how often bassist Emily has accidentally undone the strap mid performance and dropped it.
There was another unnamed new song before Br-ea-the, which is my personal favourite for now before the they finished off in style with what seems to be their current set closer and the satisfied crowd filtered downstairs and outside for a break before the next band arrived.
Having seen what we came for the rest of the night was spent chatting and their was an opportunity to meet and pass thanks to Grymm themselves for their impressive work.  Apparently the new tracks are recorded and due to be released in the coming month or so.
Maybe next time I will be able to give them a name.
