Black & White United - Robby Valentine

I have been easing myself back into gigs since last year. I had a four year lay off for various reasons, and first gig was The Warning last year. This year I have had three gigs booked so far, with only The Warning one already attended almost exactly a year after I saw them last year. I also have Cassidy Paris in August and Sophie Lloyd in October. I also have one gig booked for next year and it just so happens to be The Warning again ha ha

My copy of Sleeze Beez - Look like hell finally turned up. Didn't realise it was a remastered reissue that came out last year, not that thats an issue. Also got the Heaven's Basement S/T EP.

Black and Blue-Van Halen

Just got tickets to see Geoff Tate...he's actually coming to the town in which I live in Sept...which was a surprise because no-one really ever comes here..but fair play to him...seen him sing for Queensryche on the Empire tour back in 1990..Halloween night to be precise  brilliant show... I'm for Mr.Big on Weds  new album isn't setting my world on fire but I'm still looking forward to it and a wee night away in the Big Smoke  

Brilliant...love it.

Now this is good. Really enjoying it. Catchy and well done. 

Love this band. So much great output. This isn't a great end album, from my first could of listens. Can't get into it.
