Default Howards Alias, Sonic Boom Six, Grown At Home & Onion Terror - The Moorings 02-07-05

So, how was it for you? What a gig! All bands put on such entertaining sets. I can't remember an evening I have enjoyed that much.

Onion Terror - just Onion Terror. What can you say? Crowd pleasing as usual, nice pick of tunes. Now Or Never cover never goes a miss. Shame the usual 'Terrorising crowd weren't out in force

Grown At Home - after just hearing a few mp3s, I was looking forward to them. And rightly so. Perhaps a bit too much brass for me at some points but they were so tight and confident. The frontman had the whole frontman thing going down. Very enjoyable to watch & dance to.

Sonic Boom Six - just WOW. They have the live performance nailed. Compared to last time I saw them at Kef, they shagged that pirate bar from its front to back. Absolutely amazing. Very nice of them having me on stage too.. I think I killed 'Safe European Home'. I made a new friend in frontwoman Laila too.

Howards Alias - omgwtf. What a band. From the explosive 'Rabbit In Headlights' to open to the epic 'Song For A Friend' to close, I was in awe for what seemed like only 10/15 mins. How time flies. And the new album 'Beat Hear, Beat' is beautiful.

Thank you so very much to Good For Nothing? and The Moorings for putting it on. You've made this young lady very happy!

Oh and just to rub it in, Howards Alias were 10 times better in Edinburgh last night! They love me, they do.

You had to go start a new thread when the one on gig & event announcements was still going strong didn't ya Well this time I won't moan about crowds and things like that...I didnt really get to hear Onion Terror much, Grown at Home were ace. Look out for a split 7" with Bosseye possibly in the future on GFN? records (though that isnt definite). Sonic Boom Six were amazing. My 2nd fave band on the UK punk scene right now (after Freaks Union who you can all catch next month at Moorings, 3 ex member of Dead Pets but they're miles better) and I think they should be headlining. I think ya did ace on "Safe European Home" Amy Howards Alias were really cool too though I dont think they could match the sounds of the Sonic Boom Six

I thought the Terror were never playing 'Chewbacca' again?

Haha, nice one. What a tune to finish with.

They weren't going to play W.O.R.L.D last night but they had extra time and my voice is loud. I also got The End out them. Not even played in 4 months. Go me. It was beautiful.
