What band would go on a 16 date tour of England and play three different London venues in less than two weeks? Fables Last Stand would - they aren't afraid of hard work. Each of the London venues is better than the previous one - the final one being Camden's Purple Turtle tonight. I rush down from seeing Vamps 'N' Gypsies up the road earlier - it was certainly worth it to see this band on a bigger stage where they belong. The ten minute walk from Bar Monsta would have been worth it just to get a decent pint of beer, but this bunch of Newcastle rock 'n' rollers would have made it worth a much longer trip - even without their home town's finest ale on offer. By this stage of the tour the band are tighter than the rusted lock on Rod Smallwood's wallet. They blast through a very convincing set of strong songs influenced by the likes of AC/DC, Aerosmith, and G'N'R - finishing with 'High Water' which features a terrific solo with both guitarists swapping lead lines. This is a class act. |
These Blogs mainly deal with the countless gigs I go to, but there is some other stuff in there too - and the odd rant! I've just finished adding over 900 of my old posts from MySpace on here - everything is now on proper chronological order from 2005 to date - there is a LOT to read. Some of the older links may not work anymore - just click on the highlighted text for links to more info.
