My favorite bands

 |
A gorgeous rock-metal girl band,
with high melodies and heavy guitars. Beautiful and amazing. |
|
 |
My second favorite band these
days...Their music is just magnifique and very emotionnal. A very good band
to see live. If you see them ask them if they have seen the Tequila...I'm
still looking for it! |
|
 |
A very scary heavy rock band. The singer is
sensational, very good show. The music is melodic, dark, and heavy. Originally
from Italy. |
|
 |
A good
band, with interesting stage acting. Worth seeing! The singer likes to make
the audience participate. Very taking! |
|
 |
An original rock band,
focused and talented, with a superb guitarist. They gig around London, and
are well worth seeing, but you may need to start jumping around for the
crowd to follow...(their fans are too
'polite' if you know
what I mean) They have an album out, at last, produced by the unique Mickey
Howard.

A good rock band, with a good
stage presence. The singer can be a bit rude (hide your kids) but the energy
is fantastic. The songs very uptempo and catchy. Great female basse player. |
|
 |
A very lively and animated band, which you
cannot keep to one place. The singer just goes wildly on stage, gets off
it and on again. Good make up, good hair. Very good hair, actually.
Nice music. |

|
A strange band, from the US. I never saw
them live yet but it should not be too long!
Their website is worth a look! Very odd!
Their music sounds good . |

A great gig place. I saw all my favorite
bands here! |

DALSTON
Sussex pub, 107A Culford Rd ,
London N1

This must be the maddest place in London,
and by that I don't mean boring drink and drugs. This is experimental music,
films, and very weird performers indeed. Hugh Metcalfe is the organiser,
and he is quite mad too, easily recogniseable with his cabbage hat.
Great bands have played there, but also non musicians, scraping their guitar
in rythm on the floor and into blow up aliens. Camping tolerated on Stage.
