As a matter of fact, I'd been downing pints of water all night only. So nyer nyer
Basically, Dedalus were awesome (and I mean that in the proper sense of the word, nae the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles sense), and I thought Born Solo were absolutely terrible. They reminded me of exactly why I used to regard local bands as shite.
BUT THIS IS ONLY AN OPINION!!!!!!!!!!

Dedalus were ace again. As for their lack of songs, they do have more but I guess they thought it would be fun to play both versions of burn last night.

Hmmm... I didn't see anything last night that would make me think they were good musicians... like I said (in too much detail), they absolutely butchered Man In A Box, and it's not even a particularly hard song. Especially when you just make up a shit solo like they did. And their own songs were the kind of basic stuff I used to bugger about with when I had just started out playing guitar.
The kind of stuff I would play once and think, "Oh my god, that's so shite..."
But if they were to read my criticsim, take it on the chin, and use it to improve, then fair play to them. This is surely the point of a feedback forum, no? I'm maybe being a little harsh, but I either like something or I hate it.
However, you're spot on about the drummer. He was an anus.
As for Dedalus, I thought it was a bit weird that they'd only have four songs. In that case, I cannae wait for the next gig to hear what else they've got.
My sister counted just 15 people at the gig... that was a disgrace. They deserve to be playing to much bigger crowds.
