DANNYS BAR LEVEL 1 ESQUIRES BEDFORD WEDNESDAY 10TH NOVEMBER 2004.
I entered Danny's bar a little after 9pm expecting
the band to be on, so I purchased my fermented vegetable product
and conversed with the locals. The pub had some people in attendance, but
I wouldn't have said it was busy.
I heard the guitar and bass being sound checked and was impressed
by the vigour and aggressiveness of the sound.
1 bassist, 1 guitarist, 1 drummer (obviously), where's the
singer I thought.
Then the singer appeared, took the mike and
growled/sang with remarkable ease. The bassist posed the entire set, but
played well. The guitarist was young, but played with experience. The drumming
was also great, didn't get a look at him though.
The first 3 songs were long, well rehearsed and the singer
commented how they hadn't played a pub for a long time and were
used to playing clubs. You could see why, they were extremely tight
and sounded like a mix of machine head, rage against the machine type singing, but with
lots of growling. Nearly all their songs were headbangable and had a good
rhythm. The last two songs weren't as strong as the others, but I think they needed
the atmosphere of a club. The band played for roughly 45 mins and the singer sat down a few times and sang at the
band, which I found amusing. I was pleasantly surprised by this band and I think they are
destined for good things.
They were from Huntingdon and very young looking.
So many bands in the local area are very talented for their age and I
recommended them to play the Pitz as I think their sound
would be very much appreciated there.
