Club Anvil (various venues, currently at On The Rocks, Mikonkatu 15, city centre):
It held so much promise - its flyers advertising “glam guitars” meeting “cool synths” and its literature adorned with images of the most stylish 1980s new wave figures imaginable.
But as is all too often the case, the reality is very different from the brochure, and with Anvil one is just as likely to endure a whole set of tuneless droning and unrecognisable re-mixes as to hear Depeche Mode and Ultravox classics. We Came To Dance - a statement that falls on deaf ears here most of the time.
