LOOP were pretty loud - especially in a small venue, but the loudest gig by a long way was SWANS at the ZAP in Brighton. First gig of their UK Holy Money tour.
The PA was the same as they used for the rest of the tour, playing big venues like the Astoria and National Ballroom, but the ZAP in those days was about the size of a double garage. When the bass and drums hit together, it drove all the air from my lungs and I could feel my guts churning. Took about 3 days for my hearing to recover - I was deaf on the train home.
