After almost knocking over Tex Perkins on the way in, we proceeded into the Forum Theatre awaiting a night filled with memorable bands.
First up was Rowland S. Howard, known for his time in the band 'Boys Next Door'. The crowd seemed to lap up his energy on stage with vigour. Although it was just he and his guitar, one could almost believe he had a band with him on the stage. Rowland played with much angst and love to a crowd who seemed to feel the same.
After a short break, Magic Dirt arrived, lead singer Adalita like a prowless on stage looking for a victim. Although the venue wasn't filled to capacity the strong crowd went off to the band and at the last song, a fan decided it was too much and spewed forth his dinner (or was it alcohol?!) into the front few rows. After a quick clean, myself and friends were able to get to front row without a fight! Thanks!
A dark stage and smoke provided an eerie back drop for the Beasts of Bourbon, but that could almost be perfect for the band known as The Beasts. Spencer wearing a funky shirt and his trademark hat was working with the crowd to entice them into his lair. Brian seemed to be having a good night and barely stumbled whilst sending out riff after riff. Tony and Charlie threw their love into each song and the front man Tex struted around the stage throwing his microphone as if it were a music producer who had ripped him off. Tex wearing jeans torn at the groin provided a crowd pleaser to those in the front few rows. The night started with 'The Low Road' and ended with the crowd pleaser about drugs and more drugs 'thanks'. We said no, Thank YOU!
Leaving the venue we were pumped with the night's performances and lapping up what might be The Beasts last gig for a long time...
