Tonights gig is like the rest of The Levellers current tour, sold out well in advance. The Levellers have a reputation as a superb live band, so I’m looking forwards to seeing them for the first time tonight. Knowing that the support on this leg of the tour is The Wonderstuff is a real bonus…
Tonights support comes from Scottish act The Pictish Trail (aka singer Johnny Lynch). Its hard to describe the sort of music Pictish Trail performs – much of it is probably best descibed as folk, played on an acoustic guitar, but Pictish Trial also includes electronic synth music with a drum machine.

Massacre/Sound Pollution SIX REASONS TO KILL are amongst the forerunners of metal/hardcore, and are a big name in the underground scene. They started out with a lot of death metal in their sound, but have since developed into a hybrid of modern and extreme death, hardcore, added atmosphere and touches of electronica. They have gigged…

Massacre/Sound Pollution Thrash success LEGION OF THE DAMNED has been at it since 2004, not 1990 as could be expected.

Radiofavoriten ”Temple of the Red-Eyed Pigs” avslöjar…
