Friday 13th saw us back in the LoGOz mobile road trippin' it down to The Packhorse in Leeds. I don't really believe in all that superstitious horoscope stuff anyway, but that's me, typical Scorpio ;) Seriously though all omens were good as we made good progress arriving at the venue at a decent time. We're no strangers to this place after playing here before in March 2014 with our hard rockin' buddies STONE COLD KILL and STILETTO FARM. So it was no surprise to see these two bands on the bill again and part of the reason we agreed to the gig. After unloading the gear into the side stage area Paul, Carlos and myself did our usual out of Town routine by heading for the nearest takeaway outlets. This time around we decided against Mahoods special man sauce, for a more safer Burger/Pizza establishment. So with stomachs kinda full we headed back to the venue to hear opening band MODERN DAY DUKES with their half arsed tongue in cheek deliberately 15 minute shambolic set, which included snippets of "Boom shake the room" and "The fresh Prince of Bel Air". I heard the guys had pulled out of the gig few days earlier due to half of their members not being able to commit but they'd rejoined the bill and just threw this daft set together! Strange like, but hey!

Next up were STONE COLD KILL who have recently lost main bass wielding frontman Ralph Robinson to his Fatha, Lennys band ASOMVEL. The band were ear piercingly loud and played straight up dirty rock n roll like the bastard sons of Motorhead. With the venue reaching its peak attendance for the night it was time for us boys to strut our stuff. To be honest the crowd was a little disappointing numbers wise, but that was in no way going to affect our performance! With the changeovers not exactly running to plan we were in danger of losing valuable stage time. But we had traveled to be here tonight and no one was gonna stand in our way! We blasted through a full on balls out (not literally) 35 minute set that had the small crowd and other bands gathered at the front and lapping up every lick, riff and melody. Particularly ANTI-SOCIAL MEDIA going down a storm! Even Pauls mid set string snap and end of set guitar smash only added the anarchy and energy of another cracking gig for the band! As we came off stage we were greeted by fantastic comments and compliments from the crowd and other bands. We hung out briefly and cracked with brothers Stel and Ralph, along with parents Lenny ASOMVEL and Deb Robinson from Starjack Entertainment, who spoke about an interesting media proposition for the band....watch this space :) We only managed to catch a few rocking tracks by STILETTO FARM before we had to head back up to good old Northumberland. As we enthusiastically chatted about the great gig we'd just played and selected tracks for the playlist drive back, we were made aware on social media of the horrific events unfolding in Paris. This obviously took the shine off our mood a little with the realisation that innocent people had been killed while purely enjoying a night out watching Live music. Mindless. And an awful scary reminder of the modern world we live in. As like everyone else our thoughts are with the families who have lost loved ones in this horrendous tragedy.
Another Monday is here again and that means its
AcoustiCalendar Song #46 time. This comes in the shape of THE CHURCH OF THE LOST & FORGOTTEN. Quite a serious little fella this one, with its dark paranoid undertones and fear of dying lonely with no legacy. But as always there is hope. The hope that you have to make sure that this does not happen and you keep believing. You can download this song for FREE from www.logozworld.com/52 As always this will be available from 7 days until the next track is uploaded.
