Fan review




The band began to assemble on stage, to the strains of a pipe organ. The dirge seemed to be a hymn
reminiscent of an old 'Western' movie. They seemed ready and the houselights dimmed............and nothing!
The organ kept playing the band looked unphased and ready.

At that moment Dr Crow stumbled onto stage with a faltering stride. Was he drunk or damaged, or both. He seemed affronted and bewildered by the presence of the audience.

I really did not know which way this was going to go?

With a gesture from Dr Crow, the chapel organ stopped, and he seemed to gather himself in order to mumble something unintelligible. His voice sounded like pea-gravel  in a metal bucket.......... and they were off!!!!!!!

Glenn Schultz (Ex Rose Of Avalanche) was laying down an earthy, solid, raunchy guitar riff, supported by Jas Nakhwal on bass and Mark TomTomThompson on drums (Ex Rose Of Avalanche), helping it grind along, Twigs on keys weaving his magic in and out and through the song.

Dr Crow who appeared suffused by the music (and no doubt his last jolt of grog), bounded around the stage, gravelling down the mic, shouting and pointing his way through the song.

The band obviously have eclectic tastes, and as they glided through the set, these different musical genres slipped seamlessly in and out of the rich musical tapestry.

This is 'Rock' and a whole lot more.

The audience were enjoying themselves!

Definitely worth a watch and a listen.
