WASTED SINNERS

The Gaff, Holloway Road 13.02.10
ASP
Final performance from the short-lived project who decided to burn out in front of a huge audience with masks, hats and burning guitars!!
WASTED SINNERS
Have to say these guys really blew me away tonight, they put on a great show, very entertaining and the songs are catchy and they got everybody dancing, add to that a huge show-stopping rock ballad and a mass stage invasion, they are potentially going to be huge this year.
CATFIGHT
Once again Samara's grunge/punk crew take the stage and proceed to destroy, perfectley executed songs flow and John, Simon and Seb play their hearts out leaving Samara to play and sing centre stage with total confidence.
A couple of new songs were thrown in as well, one with a country feel didnt sit too well with the overall set but its diversity shows that the band are prepared to take chances and push themselves creatively.
The final song was their classic 'Kill Me Again' now with Simon on the dual vocals the song has come of age, just perfect!!!!
AL B DAMNED
With the band onstage waiting to start the singer was nowhere to be seen, however coming through the crowd was a funeral procession carrying a coffin which was placed in front of the stage and singer Joey emerged to huge cheers and then the music just exploded.
In a short period of time the band have matured into possibley the most exciting band in the uk at the moment, its a full stage show backed by songs full of sing a long chorus's, the new songs also show a new level to Joey's vocal abilities with screams and harmony definately creating new textures and with amore agressive and heavier sound.
We were treated to their full set and still the audience demanded more, it was 100% pure entertainment!

FROM GREAT HEIGHT, TNBD Live At The Inferno, Bournemouth 12.02.10 (Gig Review)
FROM GREAT HEIGHT
TACOMA NARROWS BRIDGE DISASTER
The Inferno, Bournemouth 12.02.10
Tacoma Narrows Bridge Disaster
Opening with a set of well executed instrumentals can be a little confusing for an audience expecting vocals, but Tacoma are expert musicians and pull off a well recieved set.
A single crticisim was when the guitarist said they had cd's for sale "if you like this shit", which didnt exactley sell themselves.
From Great Height
Kicking off their set with Pink Floyd's 'In The Flesh' was an inspired move as it immediatley grabbed everybodys attention, from that point onwards they seemed to build up with each song till about half way through the set when vocalist Adam and guitarist Mikey seemed to suddenley explode with energy.
This energy was quickley recognised by the audience, some of who moved forward and
started headbanging, this in turn fired up the band even more who simply went from
strength to strength which each chord!
Have to say that its a great venue and run by very nice and professional people, also a
mention here for Al B Damned's drummer Pip Sickness who went out of his way to help the
band and look after them.

VELVET HIGHWAY CLUB NIGHT 05.02.10 (Review)
The Apothecary Bar is part of the Egg club in Kings Cross and tonight was host to the first night thrown by Aphrodite Entertainments (a new company with involvement from Laura London), an interactive rock n roll cirus called Velvet Highway.
Over 150 people packed into the venue for 6 hours of pure fun, on stage performances from Lydia Darling with a breathtaking hoop routine, there was also some great pole dancing from Panjea and another girl.
Throughout the performances the dj's kept the music pumping with everything from Motley Crue to Bauhaus and instead of people standing still and watching the acts they kept dancing, which was the whole point of creating a great atmosphere.
During the dancing Little Bo Freak mingled with them on stilts with her snake and Sophie dished out free shotsof JD.
The only time the dancing stopped was for a special appearence with Morrigan Hel from Nemhain who danced with fire!!!
All in all a great night, got to meet loads of new people and had fun!!!
