Dead Freights hosted a hometown gig last night at The Stage Door in Southampton, a small cabaret venue with a max capacity of 150 standing, an intimate affair attended by a large number of family and friends of all bands present. And why not, its great to play occasionally for those who support you. First…
A Wednesday night in Bristol, Johnny Marr with Gaz Coombes in support. A 2 hour drive followed by queuing in light rain, thanks O2 priority for putting their priority queue out in the elements, it wasn’t even a light mist really by that point really. The setlist The Encore I almost feel that I need…
I saw lucky enough too see Gaz Coombes recently on March 14th of this year perform a one man show to a small audience in Southampton. This time there was a band, a five piece band, the same but different!. My image but sadly not my setlist. Gaz Coombes came onstage and had roughly 45…
Sounds a better title than Drum and Talent. Like a close-nit group of lads putting on a show for their mates and showing just how good they are! The place was bouncing! Always loved Drum & Bass and a great MC is a sight to behold, seen many over the years and rap music is…
Sunday, Monday, whatever the day, when these guys come to town you can but smile, and yes I going to say it, be happy! Shaun Ryder is his usual calm self, often hidden from view by Bez walking the stage with Rowetta dazzling in silver. She took to the stage from the off, her voice…
The only thing missing was the hair! I can’t talk. With original signer Stephen Holt up front supported by Clint Boon on backing vocals, you know you’re in for a good night. Founding member and guitarist Graham Lambert stood next to Oscar Boom, yes, son of Clint on Bass and featured drumming from Kev Clark,…
The twenty something year old next to me said to me “that’s one of the best live acts I’ve ever seen” and we’d been chatting for half an hour about a serious list of bands we’d seen. And he’s not wrong! Formed right back in south-west London in 1985 but to me and most outside…
Headline act tonight, from there own website described as electro-punk renegades with elements of punk, electronica and heavy pop. Exactly as i’d describe it. Heavy drums guitar and electro alchemy coming from the other side of the stage and beautiful yet powerful voice centre stage. A great live act! I have seen CLT DRP before,…
Another great night at The Joiners in Southampton kicking off with local band Dead Freights in the first support slot. Truth be told, this band is the reason I was there last night. I’ve seen Dead Freights before at a different venue so knew what to expect, I was not disappointed. A great thing about…
No idea what to expect here from the second support of the night. The stage was cleared from the previous support act, a guitar band, a guitarist walked on stage followed by the folding stands and three boards full of from what I could see equalisers? samplers? There was definitely a MacBook front and centre…
