Arrived and Alejandro had already started, never done that before. Was not too sure at first as it was a good deal 'harder' than I had expected. But two songs and I was hooked. A mixture of Alt. Country with Rock and Punk.
Punk stems back to his earlier days when he was a punk, on the bill of the Sex Pistols last ever gig in New York, moved into the infamous Chelsea Hotel, neighbours being Sid and Nancy.
Tight band (not the big band) of lead, bass and drums, mentions especially for his lead guitarist David Pulkingham and drummer Hector Munoz, and went onto play a 1 3/4hour set running through his back and new catalogue finishing with the Stones's Beast of Burden.
And yet again, the sheer muscianship of American performers can not go unnoticed. It makes the English guys look second rate. Why the difference? its because the Americans have such a great music scene all over, and they learn their craft doing gigs like these to 100 or so souls in bars up and down the country. We may have a bit of it in major cities, but Joe Public are only interested in manufactured acts or old acts who just play on their old reputation.
Absolute first rate gig and cant wait to catch up with him the next time he visits the UK
10/10
I think we missed seeing this at the cinema, although for some unknown reason I kept on getting deja vue thinking I had seen this scene and that scene before. Anyhow, what a beautifully 'nice' film it is. The two lead women are terrific, the story absorbing, and for waht is a simple tale, highly enjoyable.
