Saw a band called Slaves last night who blew me away, a 2 piece with a really raw but full sound - guess you would call it garage punk.  Guitarist and a Singer / Drummer that plays standing up - never seen anyone hit drums (only 2) and cymbols so hard - Excellent new discovery will be seeing them again

Check them out below

Next up for me are the mighty Inner Terrestrials, Credit to the Nation , New Groove Formation on Saturday in Bedford

I obviously wasnt the only one Slaves impressed, tney have just been signed up by EMI Virgin   Lets hope they dont go all corporate wank on us

In a world full of no ones,  I am a someone

Dave Sharp from the Alarm warmed up tonight. Gave excellent service with acoustic guitar and mouth organ.

Kirk Brandon from Spear of destiny, on top form. Sang some classics which I knew, and others which I wish I had known. Great interaction with the crowd of less than 50.

At the end, they did an acoustic duet. Very good, very intimate. Would be an absolute dream for JS / DW to grace the same little stage.  :)

It was a great gig - Kirk's voice is excellent still and he's a great chap. Sorry we couldn't hang around for the post gig pints Shush - enjoyed the pre-gig ones with you though  8)

Stiff Little Fingers in Newcastle at the O2 Academy last night.  Another great show by the band, showcasing new material from their album which sounded really good, as well as all the old classics.  Brilliant show by a brilliant band.

Miles Kane at the Engine Shed in Lincoln last night.

Hadn't heard owt by him before, cracking set, full of energy.

A bit Mod/rock crossover, (hard to pigeon hole him) very talented guitarist

Saw Prong at the Camden Underworld last night.

Absolutely brilliant!

Going to see The Lost Boys at the Dry Bar in Manchester on Saturday night.

They're a young mod band from Southampton (Singer, songwriter and guitarist is my daughters boyfriend)

They supported Paul Weller at hHmmersmith Apollo last November

Isn't it annoying when a cracking good artist gets a poor turnout?  I remember, some years back, seeing a certain Mr Sullivan (on one of his JSAF tours) play a respected venue that was literally just down the road from me.  A 500 capacity venue and I think that 50 people (maybe) showed up.  I was embarrassed, frankly.  Great show, though...

Back to the original point, looks like Fish at the Bilston Robin 2 is gonna be the next one for me (after NMA in Warrington)... I know NMA have played there a couple of times, looks like I'm gonna need to stay in Wolverhampton or get the late train home if I can get back in time, anyone got advice on this one?
