The Gaff, Holloway Road 09.07.09

DUSTEROID
Classic stoner influenced hard rock like Blue Cheer jamming with Ten Years After with a touch of Cathedral thrown in!They may be a side project band from the bassist of Blood Island Raiders but they are a force in their own right.They played a huge set full of massive riffs, pounding drums and some serious basswork.

EL SCHLONG
You cant quite put your finger on this band, its like death metal and jazz rock blended with humour.All put together by three very talented musicians, they create a great sound and have amazing stage presence.They entertain on a major scale and are a band to watch and enjoy.

KYRBGRINDER
And talking of entertaining, wow, with the drummer taking centre front stage and doubling up as vocalist they too score big on the visual element.But it is true showmanship and really outstanding musicanship that they score top marks, vocalist/Drummer Johanne is amazing his vocals echo Seal back in the days when he was considered rock and former Journey singer Gregg Rolie, whilst his drumming (and stick twirling skills) leave his contemporaries wimpering in a darkend corner.
Add to this solid bass work and some great guitar solos, you have a perfect blend of melodic hard rock, that leaves me to wonder why this band are still unsigned.
It goes without saying that they brought the house down!
