I have really been looking forward to see the Golden Grass.
I loved their first album and have played it so much and I just got the new one
and it is also great and the songs are starting to really grow on me. They blew me away at Roadburn 2 years
ago.. Anyway, I went to Tom’s place
before and we had a beer and listened to a new band called Grim Tower. It was
pretty interesting stuff. The only
Golden Grass release he owns is the most rare one that was made in only 35
copies.. I recently managed to get one as well. Far out..
The show started really late. First band was supposed to
play at 10 and Travelin’ Jack are a glam band and it took them an hour to get
dressed so they did not start until 23:30 on this Thursday night. Two guitars, bass, drums. The female guitar
player did most of the lead guitar as well as the lead vocals. She kicked ass!
This band had a great look and energy and the entire front row at the show was
women! Rare to see that at a hard rock show anymore.. People were totally into
their sort of more heavy rock version of Slade or something. Some nice dual
harmony guitars in some songs as well.. A fun concert and very rare to see a
female guitar player playing a Flying V and kicking ass with a lot of attitude
and great leads… This got people in the
right mood for the Golden Grass.
Set List: Reaper, I
need Love, Thunder, Cold Blood, Black Tree, Madness, Home, Encore: Heavy Chain
The Golden Grass did not fuck around and tried to get set
you as fast as possible. They have a new bass player since the last album and
tour and he was awesome. Man, he laid down killer grooves and lines. Adam, the
drummer and lead singer, is a monster drummer as well. His jazz training makes
him a bit like Ginger Baker! Michael, the guitar player also does a lot lead
vocals as well. It tight and rocking band with just great songs.. They played a
good mix of new songs, old songs and two cover songs in their 45min set.. I was
disappointed that they played so short but other than that they were amazing. I
had such a good time but left quite soon afterwards as it was nearly 2 in the
morning and I had to get up early… Great
night… Thanks to Rhona for booking all these cool bands..
Set List: Get it Together, Stuck on a Mountain, Livin’ ain’t
Easy, Down the Line, Hot Smoke and Sassafrass (Bubble Puppy), The Pilgrim,
Sugar N’ Spice. Encore: Wandering Around (Icecross)
