The 16th saw us in Burnley, a first for us, at the Sanctuary rock bar, which is an awesome venue by the way, to kick off the rock on promotions, Fire within cd launch tour.
First up was a band called Massive wagons , a Hard rock outfit from Carnforth, whos interests include "Beer. Girls in black. Loud noises."... which amused me!!
Ive not seen this band before, an Im gutted!! They were awesome, sexy solos, gut punching bass, tight ass beats an a vocalist whose voice has been lovingly nurtured on gravel and whiskey, very enjoyable!
Massive Wagons played a mix of their own stuff with a few covers thrown in, ending with a version of Johnny B Good, which they truly made their own... Looking forward to seein these lads again soon!!
Next up were our old friends Stormcorporation from Preston! As usual they were right on form, with a set slappin you in the face with originality and skill. Some nice dirty beats, with huge groovin guitars, nicely contrasted with soaring female vocals, this band demand attention, an they get it!
If you havent seen these live yet, I would urge you too, as they never fail to please, their debut album is out now, and free to download from here... DO IT!
So after a late finish, an a long drive home, discussing the finer foods in life, an coming to the conclusion that caramel shortbreads are awesome, and rice pudding is nice cold, we were set up for the trip to Warrington for Sa-da-ko to play White fest, which, you'll be pleased to know, has no connection to any sort of racist organisation!!!
This was a bit of a strange gig, an we felt a bit sorry for the promoter, as his original venue had pulled out, as had a lot of the acts he had lined up, but this didn't stop us pissin molten metal into the ears of Warrington's populace! We unfortunately, had to rush this one a bit, so didn't see many of the other bands, however, one of the lads from screamo outfit, age of insecurity introduced himself an I have just been checkin em out on Myspace, I suggest you do the same!!
Any way, time to go an organize some Sa-da-ko filled Halloween shenanigans, so Ill leave you with a picture of what I had for lunch... beef double dipped mother lickers!!!!
