LoGOz - Cross Arms Review & Weekend Punk Rockstravaganza!!!

Thursday nite saw us at The Cross Arms Hotel in South Shields for the first time and also clashing with the England v Uruguay World Cup match! Football or Music? There's only one winner for me :)

The support bands Madness is Mercy and Geomancer set their own tone to the proceedings! Im not quite sure what the genre was but damn it was heavy and right up Carlos' street! It was all original material and those guys meant it. Well played lads!

We took to the stage 10.10pm as Luis Suarez and co were celebrating a famous victory as English hearts were crying in their beer again! But us 3 Lions had a punk rock show to deliver, and deliver we did! A great sound too so a big thanks to Mark from Nemix.

The night ended up with a bit crack with ex 3 Colours Red guitarist Chris McCormack who had called in for last orders! Shame he hadn't been in an hour earlier, and l did tell him that he'd just missed a crackin band! Despite his offer of more beer we headed home just after midnight with a World Cup exit the last thing on our minds.

So onto the weekend! On saturday at 6pm we are playin The Insangel Stage at The Hoppings Town Moor in Newcastle. So come down, bring the kids, hook a duck, spend a fortune and ride a punk pop rock rollercoaster with us!

Then after that we're heading straight into town to the Northumberland Arms for a 9pm slot with Hexed, Pipe Riot and Black Bloc in aid of Save The Independent Living Fund (The Concert).

Our weekend doesnt end there boys and girls coz on sunday morning we're back at Mill Studios in Alnwick to record new tracks for our forthcoming EP.

Be great to see some of you at these gigs! As ever we will be selling copies of our Psycho Radio CDs and T-shirts as well as our new exclusive Live at Koast Radio acoustic EP. Bez like dancers and Honda Civic enthusiasts welcome!

LoGOz - Punkoustic Weekend Review - June 14 / 15th 2014

Saturday afternoon had a Spinal Tap-esque start to our Mighty Dub Fest acoustic experience as we were given wrong directions by the staff at Druridge Bay Country Park! So we found ourselves wandering round the site in the lush afternoon sun, mistakenly gatecrashing festival goers barbecues in the process! And, even more amusingly, stumbling across a horsebox with travellers asking if we were the strippers! So, with clothes intact and a few frantic phone calls from the worried promoter, we finally found the marquee stage for the bands, phew! A quick soundcheck followed with orders of no pints onstage and no swearing! Rock n Roll indeed!

Paul and myself played a 9 song set kicking off with Jubileezer and included an acoustic debut for Joie de Vivre. We really enjoyed it, as did those who attended. So hopefully next year a full band set later in the day would be even better for us!

So onto sunday for another acoustic performance, this time at Whitley Bay Proper Food & Drink Festival. We were due onstage at 4pm and we were cutting it fine as the heavy traffic meant we got to the stage for a quick soundcheck at 3.59pm! The crowd and atmosphere were warm and appreciative as we introduced ourselves! We had a good feeling about this one. Again, we acoustisized our way through a 9 song set much to the pleasure of our new food munching, beer guzzling friends! At one point it looked like Mrs Brady old lady and friend may have rushed the stage but it wasn't to be! Some of the most fun we've had at an acoustic gig yet. My cheeky plea from the stage for free food worked a treat as Paul and l were rewarded with a large sausage by Levi Roots. But our day performing wasn't over yet! With guitars still strapped on, we stood chatting with good friends and fans. Before we knew it we'd launched into an impromptu busking set! This brought both delight and bemusement to us all! Even a psuedo authority figure and a strange man pleading for the owner of a Honda Civic couldn't stop us now! I believe there is some pretty cool youtube video evidence out there to back this up with some angelic vocals from our biggest youngest fan as well as some tribal flamenco dancing by a well refreshed female Bez impersonator who got lost in the moment with us. Priceless. Check it out! No Win Situation

All in all a brilliant weekend of punk rock acoustica. Dont forget we still have copies of our limited edition 3 Track Live at Koast Radio Acoustic CD available!

Thanks to everyone who helped make this a great weekend. You know who you are!

LoGOz - The Doll @ The Black Bull. Gateshead - 06/06/14. Review:

Last night we kicked off our busy assault on June with a cracking gig at The Doll. With only a few days to promote this after stepping in at the last minute and also clashing with The Rezillos gig down the road we were still gona make sure this was a success! And indeed we did!

The night kicked off with a high octane in ya face performance from anarcho punks 'From The Gut'. With a slightly menacing frontman they delivered the goods and no one was safe from their vitriol, from the Government to Religion to Take That!

Their full on raucous support set worked a treat as it fired us up as we hit the stage at 10.15pm. Kicking off with 'Long Time Dead' we blasted through a 45 minute set like a band possessed. Including some freestyle punk moshing by From The Gut frontman, we went down a storm!

lf you've never been to The Doll before and you like your punk rock old or new then get yourself along! Its got one of those feelgood vibes and atmosphere you just cant fake, and a great sound too!

So yet again another successful night for LoGOz as we stayed behind chatting to friends, fans etc as the merchandise continued to sell well.

Looking forward to returning to The Doll again in the near future. It may be sooner than you think! Watch this space!

LoGOz - Newcastle University gig Review 31/05/14

Another great nite in LoGOz calendar for 2014 as our bandwagon rolled into Newcastle on a warm Saturday night. The Newcastle Uni Students Union had changed quite a bit since my last visit which l couldn't believe was a decade ago! I was about to grace the stage where 10 years earlier l had drunkenly moshed in awe to my heroes The Wildhearts! But in a mixture of shock and suprise the room was unrecogniseable from the dark edgey dank place of the past and was now a modern bright slick trendy spankin new Live venue! Change is good right?

The soundcheck went great and we couldnt wait to hit the big stage at 7.20pm. We went on bang on time and blasted through a 10 song set kicking off with LONG TIME DEAD and finishing with MEXICOLA. We went down great with the growing crowd of fans, friends and family, old and new. After the gig our merchandise was selling well so all in all a cracking night for LoGOz! Big thanks to Chris from headline band Digits / Pulse Promotions for making it happen. We must do this again. Onwards and upwards. Bigger and better. Things are changing. Change is good right?
