Not sure I'm going to get chance to post later, thus........
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 ...
Now Geoff good to see you are back.
