For those of you who missed the last one on the 12th of
February, you should be kicking yourselves! Here's what you could have
seen and heard...
Electra sang along to a backing c.d. she had
written and recorded herself. She has an incredible voice, reaching
operatic notes with ease. For a debut performance, she really impressed
the audience.
Rosie Bell, the keyboard player/backing vocalist for FRAK often plays a
solo set down at the club. She went down particularly well this night,
even roping host/M.C. Fritz (yeah, me) into singing a couple of songs.
Glasgow band Gum have been getting some good press recently, following the
release of their debut album. Their ecletic brand of esoteric indie rock
came across like Siouxsie & The Banshees meet The Cocteau Twins. Lead
singer Leigh Myles has a good voice, and the rest of Gum complement it
perfectly.
Surprise of the night came in the shape of Galashiels band Crevis
Inspection. With a name like that, everyone was expecting loud blaring
punk rock. What we got was an excellent blast of rock, bordering on metal.
Their cover of "Bring Your Daughter To The Slaughter" had half
the club arguing over who did the original. Iron Maiden, for anyone that
hasn't found out yet! Several other covers were mixed in with some
down'n'dirty rock originals, played with confidence and style. We'll be
hearing more from these boys, I'm sure.
Don't miss the next one; as there is such a full bill, it might be best to
get there as soon after 8p.m. as possible, we will have to start earlier
than usual just to fit everyone in!
See y'all down there,
Cheers,
Fritz
