LoGOz - Lionheart Radio & Private party Gig Review.

Friday night saw us back on the airwaves and Live in the studio on Lionheart FM Show 'Schools Out' with Chaz Ellis. We hijacked the show from 6 til 7pm with some good natured interview banter with Sir Ellis in between a smooth playlist which included the first ever airing of brand new remixes of HELLO LONELY & LONG TIME DEAD from the new EP. We also got the chance to show off our acoustic skills with Live versions of JUBILEEZER, NO WIN SITUATION & DEAD OR LIVING IN AMERICA. Mr Ellis also presented us with a challenge to write a jingle for the show, which we rose to with aplomb. Piece of piss. I wrote the first thing that came to my head in a typical three chord punk/pop blast. And it worked a treat in a satisfyingly fun kinda way :)  So we'd like to thank Lionheart FM Radio and Chaz Ellis for inviting us in the studio, and we look forward to doing it again soon.

Saturday we were back in our hometown Ashington at The Conchie for a private Birthday bash gig! In typical family and friends-like celebratory fashion, there was a crowd of all ages including possibly the youngest member of LoGOz fanclub. So, young, old and all in between lapped up our 45 minute set and even as the demand for an encore was ringing in our ears, we refrained and left the party people wanting more. Job done. Big thanks to Leanne and Kev for asking us to play and of course to Birthday boy Gerry who turned the big 5-0 on the night. Also cheers to Mark Evans for a great job on the Sound and to Pikk for spinning some cool tunes. So, another randomly successful weekend for LoGOz and so much more yet to come. Watch this space...

Cheers

LoGOz - NEW Gig Reviews & Lionheart Radio

Friday August 29th and a good 3 months plus since we'd first made our way North to the Borders to rock the world famous Barrels Ale House in Berwick. So here we were making our return and it was good to see some familiar faces in the venue coming back for a second helping of LoGOz. Always great to see people singing the words back to us, especially in the cool vibrant cellar room that is the Barrels. Its one of the most initimate places we'll ever play. The banter was flowing as ever between band and audience with both hilarity and bemusement. After a cracking 2 set blast the demand was there for more so we gladly obliged by replaying Dead or Living in America, Joie de Vivre, Hello Lonely and Mexicola. A top night all round and we hope to be back up there around the end of the year, maybe when the Christmas Bells end :) Big thanks again to Jaki.

So Saturday August 30th saw us back home with a short trip up the road to the Bebside Inn Blyth. A more rowdier busier and noiser crowd bounced off the band as we tore through another 2 set blast! Again encores were demanded including new Live favourite 'Disgraceland'. Also a mini stage invasion and bizzarely an inflatable guitar made an appearence and added to the vibe of another great night for LoGOz. Massive thanks to the staff at the Bebside and Paul from Insangel for a great job on the sound and especially everyone who came to help and support us on both nights, you know who you are :)

Back to the future, and this Friday September 5th we will be appearing Live on Lionheart Radio 107.3FM on The 'Schools Out' Show with Chaz Ellis which is on from 5-7pm. We will be sonically coming in your ears playing a few LoGOz acoustic tracks as well as a bit studio chat. So turn on, tune in and turn it up :)

Also a quick mention that this Saturday September 6th we will be playing a private party at The Conchie in Ashington.

Cheers again to everyone for your support

All the best

LoGOz - Flying Horse - Review 16/08/14.

As the Premier League football season kicked off in style that aftenoon, all thoughts of overpaid primadonnas were put to one side as we headed into the unknown territory of The Flying Horse in Blyth.
We were greeted by friendly if somewhat refreshed locals as we also spied a bizarrely spelt LOGOX advert inside the establishment! This was gona be an interesting night! But with the sound being supplied by Mr Tony Eastlake we knew we had no worries on that score! With the soundcheck nailed and easy on the ears we mingled with the crowd that was now gathering inside.
We hit the stage around 9.10pm and kicked off with the very first intro song we ever played Live 'Intergalactic Girl'. After that we ripped through the full PSYCHO RADIO album to a thunderous reception, as Cliff Richard gags were kept to a minimum. With this being a 2 set gig, we broke it up in the middle with a short break as jackets were slung, sweat was wiped and more drinks were ordered.
With a good natured rowdy bustling crowd ready for the second set, we tore the place a new arsehole by launching straight into 'Long Time Dead'. The night just got better and was great to see so many people singing along to the songs. We even threw in new song 'Disgraceland' which went down a storm! We closed the set with 'Joie de Vivre' and with minutes still left to play with, it was request time by demand of our punk rock gathering. We were only too happy to serve up a second helping of 'Dead or Living in America' 'Hello Lonely' 'Joie de Vivre' & 'Mexicola' as a raucous sing a long pogo ago-go erupted down the front! All in all personally one of my favourite gigs l've ever played! Big thanks to everyone at The Flying Horse, Tony Eastlake and all who came down packing the place out and making a noise with us! 3 points for LoGOz on the opening day of the new season after a successful away win has us sitting at the top of our very own Punk Rock Premier League!!! Its early days, but the signs are all there.

LoGOz - Willow Tree Review & Flying Horse Blyth this Saturday.

A monsoon-esque downpour greeted us as we made our way into Newsham Blyth on Friday night for our gig at The Willow Tree. We had good memories of the last time we played there in November 2012 in what was Carlos' second gig with us.

Tonight we were headlining with 2 other bands opening up. Kicking off the night was Black Bloc who we had personally got on the bill at the last minute. In their no nonsense punk rock assault they mixed a few original tracks with some classic covers including Alternative Ulster by Stiff Little Fingers and a brilliant version of So What by Anti Nowhere League, with no censorship or compromise with the uber offensive lyrical content :) Next up was High Tide from Spennymoor. Again blending a few original songs with a diversity of covers by acts such The Coral, Biffy Clyro and Chuck Berry.

This was firing us up nicely as a good crowd had built up and before we knew it, it was 10.10pm and our time now to wake up the natives with our own brand of punk rock melodica. And indeed we did. It was a great spirited almost boisterous atmosphere, but all good natured, as we went down a storm. Smiling sweaty faces roaring their approval of each track as we rifled through a slick 40 minute set. Again another successful nights work for the boys and because of this, leads me onto our next gig...

This Saturday August 16th we will be playing at The Flying Horse in Blyth. This will be a double setter. So we're gonna be playing 20 songs in 2 seperate 40 minute sets. We will also be debuting a brand new song DISGRACELAND and we cant wait for you all to get ya lugs around this one :) We will be punking it up at 9pm, so celebrate the new Premier League Football season kick off by getting yourselves along to the Flying Horse this Saturday. Its FREE Entry too :)

Celebrate your own decay!!!
