You might already know of Zombi, I would describe their music as hard-edged progressive electronic *but* although there are a lot of synths in there, there are only two musicians, a proper drummer, and a bassist who also handles most of the keyboards and the electric guitars.
As a result, the drumming and bass playing are very much to the fore and propel the music forward.
Adrienne Davies' drumming - and of course, Dylan's guitar playing - is so precise and expressive in this. They really understand the power of the space between the notes.
"Before his debut, Exeter asked the Football League if they could just put "Troy" on the back of his shirt but were told the entire surname had to be there, without exception".
Great post. Alternatively, damp tissue paper works well, I've used that method to protect my ears successfully at quite a few gigs, including an indoor Iron Maiden one.
On the subject of hearing, years ago, my mate told me that his friend was worried that he had permanently damaged his. His teenage son, I learned, had wanted to go to see his favourite band, but his dad wasn't having that because he was too young.

Now he's got hearing problems, my mate explained.
Me: "Which band was it?"
My mate: Some lot called Slipknot.
Me: "Oh right" .
The moral of the story: Always do your research first.
By the way, the recent film about a heavy metal drummer who loses his hearing, "The sound of metal," is amazing. You can access it via the iPlayer.
