LoGOz - Gig Weekender Rocktober 10th & 11th

After our successful Tuesday night punk/pop shenanigans with The Dollyrots we look ahead to another busy weekend of gigs!!! Although its not always as simple as that in this band, or any band for that matter :) So unfortunately due to unforseen circumstances Paul will not be playing with the band this weekend. But like true Rock Troopers we are, we will still be playing these gigs as a 2 piece. And if you were at The Clef & Cask gig last Friday night you know we can pull this off :) Nobody said it was gonna be easy!!!

So Friday night we have a hometown gig in familiar surroundings at The Elephant in Ashington. This is a fundraising event for GUARDIAN ahead of their 30 day European tour. Also playing are our good friends BALL OF MAYHEM. This gig is £2 entry so get down early the doors open 6:30pm. Carlos and myself will be hitting the stage around 7:30pm. There will be raffle draws with cool prizes including a LoGOz - PSYCHO RADIO Tee Shirt :) But if you arent a lucky winner dont forget we will still be selling our snazzy Tee's for £8 a pop. These are running out fast so steam in lads and lasses :)

Saturday night we are back in Newcastle at The Northumberland Arms. We will be playing with young angry punk starts BLACK BLOC,  the wonderfully pubic toupee influenced THE MUFF WIGS & Cumbrian alternative punksters HEXED. We should be cranking it up around 9:30pm. But again come down early and help support this great night of original Live music. Its £4.00 on the door and kicks off at 7.00pm.

We hope to see lots of your familiar faces at these gigs this weekend, and judging by the reaction lately we can see a lot of you know the words to our songs, so sing loud and proud as you are all now official LoGOz backing vocalists!!!

LoGOz & The Dollyrots Review. Three Tuns. Gateshead 07/10/14

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 :)

LoGOz - Clef & Cask review & The Dollyrots Gig Oct 7th

Hey well its been an interesting few days in camp LoGOz!!! On Friday due to unforeseen circumstances Paul unfortunately couldn't make our gig at The Clef & Cask in Cramlington. It was too late in the day to find a replacement guitarist and cancelling the gig just wasn't an option for us. So I decided we would carry on and do the gig just the 2 of us a la White Stripes, with my Jack White to Carl's Meg :) We didn't really have any time to work out a change in dynamics for certain songs so we just thought lets get up there crank my geetar up an extra fuzz notch and Carlos like Animal on prozac we blasted through a 10 song set like a pair possessed!! We went down a storm with the great crowd who had turned up to make a noise with us. Familiar faces cheered and sang along and new friends joined in and congratulated us on a fantastic gig in the face of adversity!! There was some great banter and a feel good vibe about the place, and in particular the local intoxicated heckler who was insisting on us playing ABBA or LED ZEPPELIN who was put in his place with a smile on his face :) Big thanks to ALL OUT ATTACK for a great set and to Daz for asking us to play, and not forgetting Nick Newcombe from Koast Radio for spinning some great tunes. Last but not least big up to Mickey O and Kev from COLLISION for doing a great job with the PA and Sound. As always Cheers and Beers to the LoGOz crew who continually come along and support us, it is hugely appreciated :)

So on to Tuesday October 7th and we're supporting American Pop Punkers The Dollyrots at The Three Tuns in Gateshead. Tickets are £6 and if anyone hasn't got a ticket then fear not, get in touch with the band via Facebook or on Twitter @PeeshNE63 @ClemmyScotswood @LoGOz and we will sort you out :) The band are in the middle of their UK Tour with British Punk legends The Buzzcocks, and are stopping off at Gateshead for a Headline show so we're pleased to be supporting the guys. We will also be back to full strength with Paul returning to the stage after his one gig absence. This is gonna be a cracking night. We cant wait!!!

See ya there

LoGOz - Lord Clyde & The Doll Reviews & More!!!

Great to get back on the Live track on Saturday night at the Lord Clyde in Byker through NEMIX Promotions. A slight alteration in the line up saw us headlining, so I for one wasnt complaining. Main support band Shinobi Fantobi warmed up well with their original alternative indie set scattered with a few covers including Eleanor Rigby by The Beatles. We hit the stage around 10:15pm with a good crowd of some new and familiar faces, including Mr Keith Newman from Radio Northumberland and Tony Houghton from Collision. We blasted through a tight slick 35 minute set which went down great and it felt good to be back in action. As we played set closer 'Mexicola' my lasting vision is of Mr Houghton punching the air outside singing along just as a Police car hastily pulled up to the venue. I must say, there were no arrests :) Thanks to a rather refreshed Mark from NEMIX for putting this event on and enjoying our set. With the bar closing at a frustratingly early time we celebrated a great gig with pre-bought Cider in the car park using 'borrowed' pint glasses and an empty vodka bottle. Nice.

So on to Sunday and a last minute stand in support slot down at The Doll at The Black Bull in Gateshead with Manchester Punk Folkers ROUGHNECK RIOT, on their Out Of Anger UK Tour. We got to meet the band during Soundcheck and they were a cool bunch and really appreciative and like minded in what we're doing. With the venue filling up nicely we took to the stage at 9.10pm. We blasted through the same 35 minute set as Saturday night but almost with a little more vigour as the vibe and reaction of the Doll brought out the best in us and our new friends and fans lapped it up. After the gig we sold out of PSYCHO RADIO CDs so the original run of those copies has now ended. But fear not, we've got some pretty cool news coming of whats happening next, so watch this space. So with the merchandise selling well we enjoyed a beer or 3 watching ROUGHNECK RIOT rip through their mandolin banjo guitar bass accordion political folk punk for the people! Also good of the band to give LoGOz a few shout outs from the stage too. Cheers guys. Another great night for the band and we ended it with a few photos and banter with the RIOT's as well as some unofficial after hours consumation. Thanks to Shev from The Doll for putting us on and also to everyone who came to see us over the weekend. We really appreciate the support, you know who you are :) Lots  more to talk about in my next blog coming later this week. Stay tuned :)
