The Evolution of 'The Fall': A Live Performance Analysis at The Wotch Trials

By admin

"Live at the Witch Trials - The Fall" The Fall, an influential English post-punk band formed in 1976, released their debut studio album titled "Live at the Witch Trials" in 1979. The album, recorded live at Camden's Witch Trials venue, marked the band's raw and unpolished sound that would become their signature style. "Live at the Witch Trials" captured the essence of The Fall's early years. The album consisted of 14 tracks, including classics like "Futures and Pasts," "Industrial Estate," and "Rebellious Jukebox." Mark E. Smith, the frontman and the only consistent member of The Fall, showcased his distinctive vocal style filled with sardonic lyrics and intense delivery.

Magic Hand Car Wash (page 3 of 3 )

If you don’t mind being told three different prices to get a cut n polish and don’t mind booking it under the assumption the agreed quote provided ($199) was confirmed as was the appointment, then you come back to get the work done to then be told the $199 is not not the cut n polish that would remove, water marks and swirls and that you you need to take out the $349 package and don’t mind to be spoken to as if youre the imbicile then this could be the place for you.

Location was Glen Iris.

Impressive - my car looks new again

After getting my car serviced at Kia, I was given a voucher for a free car wash at Magic Hand Carwash - Ferntree Gully.
I really didn't expect much - maybe a quick squirt with a hose. But wow these guys put in an impressive effort. First they hand washed then 3 of them dried, waxed and buffed. They even put tyre black on the tyres.

Steer clear

Website $10 offer not accepted; told "not us" despite showing them the sms and email with same business branding. Guy walked away mid discussion as fellow with larger car arrives.

Quoted $220 for wash inside and out . website shows this as $39.

Kept insisting it was "from" $39. Errrr . sure.

Got offended and swore at me when i drove away.

Very uninterested and rip off merchants.

DON'T USE THESE PEOPLE

On pick up of my husbands Sahara 4 Wheel Drive we received a nice big deep scratch which they denied any part of & told us it was there before. My husband gave benefit of the doubt and took my Pajero in for a detail, got home and the privacy screen at the back was missing he went back and they all looked at him not knowing what he was talking about, they did find it for him and returned it. But after he left he realised that the radio was not working and neither was the reverse camera. No use going back as they will deny this also. These de . Read more

tails cost us $700 for both and now and extra $1500.00 to replace what they have blown. Wished I'd read the reviews and I will be reporting them to Westfield Carindale and advising them of the bad reviews on this site.

This is a joke

So I used a groupon voucher to get my car “superior cleaned” when I picked it up .. it’s was a real big disappointment could have done a better job myself. I had to pay $12 parking for something that wasn’t even up to standard the inside wasn’t even clean and then I was told they charged extra for dog hair.. - which I’ve never been told until now and I go here all the time. Not only that they lost my garage remote( it was just the power board) but still. Not really the point the only garage remote we have. Won’t be going to this car wash EVER again! Highly disappointed!

very disappointed

Outside of car looked good from a distance when I collected the car but when I drove out into the sunlight could see swirls and patches that had been missed and windscreen not cleaned properly. Although the price list specified cleaning inside and outside of a 7 seater around the back row of seats was not touched at all nor were the seats. $85 later and I'll have to finish the job myself.

Terrible Experience

I paid for inside and out service (Westfield Carindale) and received nothing. It was a terrible experience. They clearly missed the interior part, they didn’t wiped, dusted, vacuumed or even cleaned the windows. My car also had a greasy mark that wasn’t there before.
I asked the manager to check it, so he took my car somewhere for 5 minutes and brought it back. When I had a look again I noticed that they only had cleaned the driver spot and the rest of the car still the same. All this plus a nasty smell of sweat that they left in my new car.

They had 2 goes, and I then had to rewash and polish to get rid of the swirls/ the scratches they's

I thought the premise of these places was they were better than a machine wash, and saved you time?
Took my car to Frankston for a wash, windows, and interior wipe over. The job was so poor you could barely see through the windscreen and they had missed entire patches of the car. I complained and rather than wash it again properly, they came out and wiped over the windscreen & dirty bits with a dry cloth. When I got home and saw the car in the sun light, I could see they must used dirty clothes (or brush) all over the car as there were light scratches/swirls all over the car. So I then had to rewash my car, and hand polish to remove the swirls.
I would've been far better to run it through a machine wash.

$180 Car wash from hell

thumbs down to magic hand wash hoppers crossing for providing the $180 car wash from hell.

On their website it displays the suv package as $29. I also used a coupon which Popped up on their website for a free $30 wax and polish. Upon calling ahead, I was informed that that package was only a quick outside wash. I was then told that everything was actually $49 and the website was not correct. Upon arriving I was asked to pay $49 for the package which included everything. I paid for what I thought was $49 only to discover a $10 charge that I . Read more

had not consented to was added as an “upgrade” which I was never told about. After paying $60 for a whole wash, I was left with the pictures in the attachments! Unbelievable! It doesn’t stop there. I called and complained and the manager asked to bring it back to him to get it cleaned again. I am thankful for the manager allowing me to do this. Did that. When I arrive for the second clean the guy who served me has the audacity to try to sell me a $380 detailing service as it will clean everything that I want to be cleaned. He then said what I want to be cleaned (ice cream marks and dirt in the carpet) can only be cleaned with a $380 detailing package! I licked my finger and wiped it over the ice cream marks and dust and it came off, in front of him. Upon redoing the entire service again, this time not taking 20 minutes but taking 45 minutes as it should, the car was still filthy including sticky sauce marks on the rear seats which can easily be wiped with a wet cloth and a new mark is even on the rear sunroof which looks like lotion or cream which wasn’t even there before the wash occurred. Long story short $180 worth of washes and car hadn’t been touched in 80% of it’s sports that should be cleaned. tried to then up sell me to a $380 package which I said no to. After the second $90 car wash (which was free) the inside of the boot wasn’t even touched and new marks and dirt have been introduced into the car. This $180 worth of car washes could have been done better by a kid for $10! Edit: yes these pictures are AFTER the inside and out car wash with the fraudulent $10 “upgrade”. Edit 2: I’ll add that the staff were all great, friendly and professional. This review is not reflective of the staff as they were all fantastic. As they did the service again I did not ask for a refund. This review only reflects my experience of the wash and clean provided.

Superior Scratch & Damage!!

Went into Kingsbury store. Wanted a wax & polish as well as leather treatment = $100. He quoted me $199 for hand wax & polish, tyres painted, & leather seats treated. They make sure you've paid in full prior to them starting. It was a sunny day & the 2nd time driving my recently deceased partners Mercedes SLK 350 Black colour 2 yrs old. Once at home & in a carpeted garage I could see the most disappointing workmanship that I had just paid $199 for. There was also a deep 3 inch scratch on the inside of the lower part of windscreen.

ad not been wiped off the rear vision mirror & leather still looked same. The wax on the outside trim & edges of windows wasn't buffed in at all. Photos were taken from both parties. I asked, the " representative " for the car wash who called me, for a refund. With a condescending tone of voice and slightly raised he refused & said he could only offer me the same service for free and would have to investigate the scratch on windscreen by viewing footage of the day, as their staff ' don't ' wear jewellery. I explained that I didn't want any of their services, and had received quotes to repair scratch. Between $60 & $80 for them to come to me. All I was asking for was a refund. With that his voice was raised further & condescendingly I was told " There are cameras everywhere " . Told him I was happy for him to investigate & to let me know the outcome. This all occurred on the 13th NOV 2018. Today's date is 12th JAN 2019 and am yet to hear anything from them.

Smith, the frontman and the only consistent member of The Fall, showcased his distinctive vocal style filled with sardonic lyrics and intense delivery. The album's sound can be described as chaotic and abrasive, with jagged guitars, driving basslines, and relentless drumming. This rawness reflected the band's rejection of conventional punk rock standards, creating a distinctive sound that merged elements of punk, post-punk, and avant-garde.

Live at the wotch trials the fall

"Live at the Witch Trials" received mixed reviews upon its release, with some praising its unconventional approach and others critiquing its lack of refinement. The album, however, still managed to gain a cult following and established The Fall as an influential force in the punk and post-punk scene. The Fall would go on to release numerous albums and evolve their sound throughout the years, but "Live at the Witch Trials" remains a crucial milestone in their discography. Its raw energy and distinctive style set the stage for the band's subsequent releases, and its impact can still be heard in the work of many alternative and indie rock bands today. Despite the challenges and lineup changes that The Fall would face over the decades, "Live at the Witch Trials" remains a testament to their unwavering commitment to their artistic vision. It captures the band's rebellious spirit and the essence of their live performances, solidifying their place in music history as one of the most influential post-punk bands of all time..

Reviews for "The Thrill of Witnessing 'The Fall' Live at The Wotch Trials"

1. Julia - 2 stars
I was really disappointed with "Live at the wotch trials the fall". The performances lacked energy and enthusiasm, and the sound quality was subpar. I had high expectations for this concert, but it fell flat. The band seemed disinterested and didn't interact with the crowd at all. Overall, it was a lackluster experience and I wouldn't recommend it to others.
2. Mike - 1 star
"Live at the wotch trials the fall" was a complete waste of time and money. The vocals were off-pitch, the instrumentals were sloppy, and the overall mixing was terrible. It felt like I was watching amateurs attempting to perform, rather than seasoned professionals. The concert lacked any memorable moments and failed to captivate the audience. I regret attending this show and would advise others to avoid it at all costs.
3. Sarah - 2 stars
I didn't enjoy "Live at the wotch trials the fall" as much as I hoped. The setlist was uninspiring and predictable, with no surprises or standout performances. The band seemed tired and uninterested, which made it hard to connect with their music. The sound quality in the venue was also problematic, with the vocals being drowned out by the instruments. It's a shame because I had high expectations for this concert, but unfortunately, it didn't meet them.
