A great little venue this. With the entrance is situated under a railway arch set in a graffitti covered wall I knew this was my kinda place. Cheap digs were found 100 yards away with pleny of pubs and fast food joints within easy staggering distance. All these plus points added up to an instant decision to keep an eye out for more good bands playing here.
Speaking of good, nay excellent bands, on to tonights support in the form of old school psychobillys The Radiacs. Back with a re-vamped line-up with new members Martin Aylward on drums and Ben Lee on guitar. Former bass player Nev Preston makes a welcome return and Dale Williams as ever snarls out the vocals up front. I've got to say they sounded fantastic and it was great to hear the new single "All Wound Up" fitting right in there with older Radiacs songs but still sounding fresh at the same time. Looking forward to the album guys. By the end of the set I'd already had a great night with more yet to come.
The Creepshow hit the stage rocking with an intense pace that kept us bouncing, dancing and singing along with established favourites from the first three albums and a generous helping of new songs from the latest release "Life After Death". By the end of the gig we were left hot, sweaty and screaming for more, a job well done I'd say.
With Sarah Blackwood leaving the the fold, I like many others wondered what the future held in store for The Creepshow. It became instantly obvious that the Creepshow scored a serious result in the form of vocalist / guitarist (and tattooist) Kenda Legaspi. Kenda sounds amazing, looks great and fits in perfectly with the band. With every album improving on the previous one and a fantastic live show the future is looking good for these Canadian psychobillies.
A big thanks to Kristian
"The Reverend" Rowles for joining us for a few beers after the show.
Apparently most of the band caught up with us as well but things got a
bit blurry as we drank into the wee hours.
