Well 2015 is getting off to a slow start as far as gigs go. Fortunately things are looking up a bit this weekend in Camden. Saturday night finds me enjoying a great value for money (Free admission and cheap beer) at
The Unicorn. First band were Gasoline Thrill who turned in a good performance of Joan Jet/Brody Dalle influenced punk 'n' roll with singer Samara Kain putting her guitar aside for the last song of two of their set.
I didn't get many pictures and most of them were rubbish so if you want to see some good ones I suggest you go to the talented Svenja Block's Flickr site
here.
Next up were a brand new all girl band who have only been together a few weeks - this was the first ever show by
Pandora Knox. This was an all cover song set but very enjoyable! The songs ranged from The Runaways to G'N'R, Mötley Crüe and Alice in Chains.
The band had a great sound and good stage presence - I can see them making a stir on the Camden scene in 2015. Although they only played covers tonight they are planning to start writing songs of their own very soon - I'm looking forward to hearing that they come up with as they play really well tonight.
Last band tonight are Unicorn regulars
Healthy Junkies. They usually play here once a month at their own club night with other bands, but this month they are having a break and playing someone else's night instead.
This band's show are always enjoyable with their tuneful and catchy pop/punk/grunge songs picked from their two albums released to date. Work on the band's next album has already started and a couple rather sharp new songs making their debut tonight suggest it will be rather good.
The obvious chemistry between the band members makes Healthy Junkies shows good fun and this encourages one of their friends to join them on stage for a song.
A very enjoyable Saturday night in Camden, and much cheaper than you would expect even though I had a good few beers. I was lucky with the train and home within the hour too - result!
