At the Clapham
Grand, Courtney Love's Hole trample the grapes of patriarchy into almost
excellent whine. She flings off her disguise of wig, suit and sunglasses
to reveal her own style of power-apparel - bleached mop hair and ideologically
loaded slip- dress. Her band are fierce and compact and Courtney does much
more than just tell good jokes and cheerfully bad-mouth her enemies. She
has two voices - a vicious garnet-paper rasp, and another that sings different
notes - and both are equally well worth listening to. ''Someone should
tell Anne Boleyn/Chokers are back in again'' is a couplet made in heaven.
