JettBlack

[Mullethead]

Went to the acoustic gig, and it was a great show, especially as it was free.

Didnt bother with Heavens Basement of the other two bands, but Jettblack were awesome.

Also really good were the opening act, Skin, who were announced at the very last minute.

It was only Myke and Neville, with the drummer from Heavens Basement but they played a nice set that covered all of their albums.

 

Had a brief chat with the guys from Skin just after the JB set, and it would seem that they may continue on a bit longer.

The guys in Jettblack are always good to hang around with afterwards, and all have told me that the new album is so much better than the last one (well they aint gonna say its shit, are they), and I believe them as they seem to genuinely have a passion when they talk about it.

They said it will be very much in a similar style, but will have a few more influences on it, with Matt telling me that there is a bit more riffage which he said could be inspired by Metallica (Black era) and Megadeth.

 

Single should be out in August with the album in Sept.

 

Skin as in ex Jagged Edge UK Guitarist Skin?

Yeah, I was telling Myke how I had been listening to him since the Jagged Edge days, and was laughing with Nev about the video that someone made for the Kooga song Across the water.

Both seem genuinely surprised that someone knew about both these bands, Myke even more than Nev to be honest, which surprised me as I thought that Jagged Edge were reasonably well known within the fans of the genre.

Sounds good to me.

All sounding good on the touring front as well.

They have a whole load of UK dates coming up towards the end of the year with White Wizzard (not sure if thats support or co-headline as Ticketmaster is listing one of the dates as co-headliners) and two dates supporting Ace Frehley. They also have a headlining gig in Ireland and some dates in Germany with White Wizzard as well.
