I head off to see Drugdealer*Cheerleader at Bar Monsta with some trepidation - last time I arrived in Camden to see this band I found Kentish Town Road cordonned off with police tape! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Fortunately, the only incendiary thing in Camden tonight is Drugdealer Cheerleader’s performance. Bar Monsta’s recent sound gremlins are not present tonight and the band come over loud and clear. Promoter Mick Monsta has generously made this a free admission show - with a collection in aid of Camden’s fire brigade - without whom there would be a lot less of the area left standing today. Unlike last time this band played here, plenty of people have actually made it to the venue - and they are well up for it! ![]() He seems a good choice as he looks and sounds the part - imagine what Nikki Sixx might have looked like if he was in the Ramones? Incidentally - Laney 74 will be standing-in again on bass at the band’s next London show on April 27th. ![]() The band’s frontman Hilda is one of the best around at the moment, and I think he actually sings better at this show than on the studio versions of one or two songs. This lot don’t really claim to be a sleaze band, although there are elements of that in their performance - their songs are definitely better than most the bands in that scene anyway. Drugdealer*Cheerleader also have much more of an identitiy of their own than the other ’sleaze’ clones. And they also have cheerleaders! ![]() The girl on backing vocals tonight is also a better singer than you might expect and definitely adds something to the sound as well as a bit of extra glamour. ![]() ![]()
"Oi - you lot at the back!"
"This ain’t a bad job really"

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.
