It's a while since I've been to The Fly and there have been some changes: The stage has been moved over to the other side of the downstairs room, and a bar has been installed where the stage used to be. Obviously, this is a great improvement as there was no bar downstairs before! However, I'm not here just to prop up the bar - I'm here to see the Cherry Brakewells. I've been to see this band several times since I discovered them a few months ago on the same bill as Dead Monroe at the Rhythm Factory. They have really impressed me each time - enough to make me get their album. Although I like their album a lot, it's live that they really shine. Although their CD is well produced and sounds very polished, it doesn't give you any idea how good this band is in a live situation. Put this band on a stage in a club in front of an audience and you get the real Cherry Brakewells - live and raw, with no keyboards, fancy effects or studio trickery - and they sound fantastic. A heavy funky sounding rock band with powerful soul vocals - they knocked me for six the first time I saw them! |
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.
