Describe in a Tweet: Old fashioned rock, old fashioned weather
What Happened: Walking on to a ringing chord and “How you doing”, this is good old rock and roll. Unfortunately they’re hampered by the weather, as the rain comes on, dampening the crowd both metaphorically and literally. These guys are professionals though, musically tight, delivering solid mid-card music. Newbies such as ‘My Best Theory’ sit alongside the emotionally wracked ‘Get Up’, while in a bit of serendipity, the rain eases off in time for the concluding hits, ‘Take Some Time’ providing an opportunity to move about and warm up again.
Lose Yourself: Solid, enjoyable rock and roll
Guilty Conscience: Enjoyable and forgettable without being anything more.
Rating: 7/10
