Grand Slam Live In Edinburgh Here are a few pics from the Grand Slam gig in Bannerman’s Bar in Edinburgh, Scotland in December 2019. Dunk MacKellar and the Keep It Rock team were there to soak up the tunes in one of Scotland’s favourite live venues. Pic credits to Mhairi […]
The Novatines managed by Andy Scott of The Sweet definitely have their roots in 70s hard rock seen though the prism of the 90s. Whilst looking pretty seventies, there is definitely a noisy and punky side to their material. They reminded me of the Monkees, that had been through Grunge, […]
Comprising cast from the multi-award winning Las Vegas show, this is the first time Raiding the Rock Vault has been in the UK. The concept is the telling of the tale of the history of rock n roll through key songs from the late sixties till the 80s, so …classic […]
Wednesday HRH XIII started off with a bang with an award ceremony headlined by award winners The Quireboys. Other winners included Doro, Berty Button, Toby Jepson, Evil Scarecrow and Skid Row. It’s always a massive party with a red carpet and guests are greeted by nubile maidens before being ushered […]
The Soap Girls, A Void, No Content, Nambucca, 2019 No Content are just two guys a vocalist/guitarist and a drummer. Dressed in shell suits and trainers they are very noisy. There’s a lot of Nirvana style riffs and screaming and no guitar solos, so its pretty 90s. The piercing vocal […]
There is no support band tonight and we are straight into the main band. For a Y and T show you can rely on getting a great show with superb guitar and vocals. I have never seen them disappoint and tonight was also consistently great. There was a build up […]
Pete Way Band, Burnt Out Wreck, Bad Habits, Camden Underworld, October 24, 2019 As I was interviewing Pete Way I missed at least half the set of opener ‘Bad Habits’. They have a very competent Asian front woman who plays bass and makes a lot of noise (you can […]
BLACK STAR RIDERS, STONE BROKEN, WAYWARD SONS, Shepherd’s Bush Empire October 12 2019 For some reason the guest list passes were not available early at the box office so I missed the very beginning of Wayward Sons’ short set. It was nice to see them inserting singles from the […]
ALICE COOPER. THE STRANGLERS, MC50, London 02 2019 MC50 kicked off the show and, aware that as support they need to make an impression very quickly to keep people in their seats, they started up with ‘Ramblin Rose’ and featured big hit ‘Kick Out the Jams’ right at the […]
Krusher was a welcome sight acting as compere and adding some old Skool gravitas to proceedings. Irish competition winners Samarkind opened the stage with plenty of Deep Purple inspired blues influenced hard rock. Impressive vocals and a professional performance kicked off the festival in style. The charismatic Massive always […]
Lucky enough to be guests of Universal in the Royal Box I was thrilled to see Bon Jovi sell out Wembley Stadium and to see that classic rock can have such a broad appeal in 2019 even if mainstream media continues to pretty much ignore that fact. First up […]
