14/2/2020 Rachel Stamp @ The Underworld

This marks the return of a band who have been away for a while. As a result this is an event and the venue is full.

Unlike many bands returning after a few years away, this is the full original lineup - exactly what the multitude of fans want to see.
Costume changes, mood changes, the spirit of Bowie is in the room - his influence is never far away with this band.
Glam is back.
And rock is back. OK - we knew it never went away.
I am not the only one who thinks Shaheena looks amazing - she doesn't seem to have aged in the slightest.

I said rock is back - well the one who adds most the rock to this band's pop and glam is the fantastic Robin Guy on drums. Said by AntiProduct's Alex Kane to be "the best drummer in the UK" - and I wouldn't argue with that. His CV is amazing. He is back in more ways than one as he has had a big battle with cancer involving major surgery, but you would never know it from tonight's stunningly powerful performance. He is the ultimate showman drummer, but his playing is also amazing! He brought tonight's set to an end with the classic Motörhead 'Ace Of Spades' double stop ending - just for fun and because he could.
This was a really great rock show. A small intimate venue with a terrific atmosphere, and a fantastic performance by the band playing all the hits and more. One of the best gigs I've been to for a long time.
