Can't believe a week has passed since I arrived at EOTR. This time last week I was probably experiencing the thrills of Californian heavy blues duo Deap Vally (think I previously mis-spelt their name - apologies go out to DV). They warned the audience it was going to be loud (unusual) and it was. The warm-up night audience generously lapped it up and unlike Dinosaur Jr who were similarly loud/heavy on the final night (more later) there wasn't a melody in sight. That's no good for me in 2013. In truth it never has been. As I said last week there 5 bands on the night all from the Communion record label/promotions roster including soon to be Boro faves Catfish and the Bottlemen . The singer, Van McCann (I'm not buying that's real) is a genuine hoot and a half as well so Teesside people join me at The Westgarth on 8 October. Overall I counted up that I saw 50 bands/artists over the 4 days and much of it very good or better ...
Got to agree with you Geoff Southgate has to go,but who do we replace him with (Kevin Keegan or Roy Keane maybe??????????????????????? Yeah Right)
ReplyDeleteHa ha ha. You're right, we lost our chance of a decent manager when we wouldn't agree to Martin O'Neill's terms.
