Black Albino was the name of a trio Hodgson fronted as guitarist for a single show in 2004. The show reunited last-generation Incisions members Tim McDonald (Drums) and Karl Jensen (Bass) for a balls-to-the-wall explosion of noise - excellent stuff and an indication of what Hodgson can do given the context. #nzmusic #blackalbino

Tiny bar upstairs from the well-known Honeypot Cafe that functioned as a low-key performance space under the venue names Metropolis (1990s) and the Green Room (2000's), before falling victim to the Christchurch Earthquakes of 2010/2011.

Album Reviews
Wow, this is loud, caustic stuff. The 2nd album from the ever-changing Christchurch 3-piece The Incisions blow the current crop of rock'n'roll revivalists out of the water. Its pure fire in a recording, scratchy, loud, abrasive and rude - more in the style of Japanese noise merchants Guitar Wolf or (particularly) Teengenrate than The Datsuns (who seem positively polished in comparison).
