The night didn’t get off to the
best of starts with a Moira Stewart-esque satnav wife sending us up the
backstreets of Gateshead and heading towards the Angel of the North!!! Quick
turn around and some helpful directions from a bewildered early evening shopper
and we were back on track to The Three Tuns in Gateshead. As we arrived at the
venue The Dollyrots were catching up on some rest in their Tour Van so we
thought best not to bray on their windows as a welcome! Things seemed to be
running late regarding soundcheck for the support bands as we were informed a
quick line check before we go onstage would be the order of the day. Not even a
problem :)
The venue was filling up and
counting as first band Guilt City opened up. As young svelte leather jacket
cladded bare chested lead singer addressed the growing crowd it was gonna be a
fucking great night, we couldn’t help but agree. The band delivered a good in
ya face hard rocking set with some cool tunes and great riffs.
As we hit the stage around 9:15pm
the venue was bustling with a great crowd and atmosphere. We tore straight into
'Long Time Dead' and from then on in everyone was on our side! Familiar as well
as new faces sang and shouted along as phones and cameras flashed, we blasted
through one of the quickest half hours of our lives! We were having so much fun
we even missed out 'Dead or Living in America' sorry Dad :) Finishing with
usual set closer 'Mexicola' we knew we had delivered the goods.
Then it was the turn of The
Dollyrots who ripped through their punk pop sing-a-longs as slick as ever, as
the crowd lapped it up. A great gig again for LoGOz as we stayed behind
chatting to Kelly and Luis from The Dollyrots. l gave them a LoGOz t-shirt for
good measure as we posed for a few photos too. All in all a cracking night and
we thank you for the amazing turn out and support as ever. Also thanks to Phil
Hughes from Insangel for putting the gig on. See you all this friday and
saturday at our next LoGOz gig weekender. More news on those in the next blog.
Stay tuned :)
