Shinedown - O2 Academy, Sheffield
The Academy is one of my favourite venues. Reasonable ticket prices, not too big, three bars downstairs and two upstairs, good atmosphere and some fantastic bands. If they didn't take the piss with the beer prices it would be perfect.
I'd fancied seeing Shinedown ever since hearing the Sound of Madness album and thought £16 was a very reasonable asking price for a ticket. This proved to be even better value than I thought as support bands Exit Ten and Redlight King both turned out to be excellent.
After the supports doing a fine job of warming the crowd up Shinedown hit the stage rocking with the title song from the Sound of Madness and went on the keep the crowd in the palm of their hands with a selection of songs covering their four albums to date.
Considering how good these guys are I'm amazed they're still only playing small/medium venues and haven't got a bigger audience yet here in the UK. If you get a chance to see them do it now because I don't think it's gonna stay that way for long. Next time round you could be paying inflated prices to watch 'em from the back of a packed arena.

Get Stoned with the Sword
My favourite small rally of the year is undoubtedly the 'Get Stoned with the Sword' rally at the Square & Compass at Darley Bridge. Hosted by Excalibur MCC it's good people, good times and a good weekends partying guaranteed.
Despite a sunny Friday it soon became colder than a pimps heart as evening drew in. Seeking warmth in the two nearby pubs followed by a jig about to the bands soon took the chill off. Three bands kept the beer tent rocking but most worthy of note was Friday's solo artist Ben Miles. I took the opportunity to buy a CD off his Mum (bless her) as she proudly sat with a bunch of bikers partying around her as Ben played a cracking blues set. Check out his FB page here http://www.facebook.com/VeryLoudRecords?ref=ts&fref=ts
As always thanks to Excalibur MCC for a great weekend. See ya next time round.
