WE'RE BACK!! Oh yes, with a new season of Band Nights :) We've packed away all of the wires, speakers, deck chairs and sleeveless shirts from this years spectacular summer festivals and are back up 'n' at em for the return of the monthly Band Nights at the Comrades.
Our first Band Night back will not disappoint. We're paying homage to this year's triumphant festivals by showing off three of the bands who played storming sets at the two date event. We have also managed to pull off a bit of a coup by securing the services of one of the most spellbinding and respected performers in the acoustic scene today to play between bands. More about that later....
The first band to hit the stage will be the very young, but very talented The Kitschen. They opened the second of our summer festivals in spectacular style with their own blend of fresh and funky jams (their words not mine - though I am, of course, cool, street and down with the kids enough to have made that up myself!)
Next up will be festival sweethearts Cherry Picasso, sporting their sparklingly new bassist and front person (I think that's correct, PC wise). They electrified the assembled crowd at this year's festival resulting in yours truly being literally stampeded by fans demanding to get their hands on the free CD's the band had on offer. They certainly seem to have hit the mark with this new lineup.
Next up will be Band Night newcomers, Mother Of The Gold - a three piece Folk/Rock band with vocals reminiscent of the Black Crowes, Rod Stewart and The Quireboys. Mother Of the Gold are an energetic band with a lot to offer the audience in terms of entertainment. We've heard a lot about this band and are thoroughly moistened in anticipation of their debut here.
Finishing the night off in style will be the ever popular Band Night favourites, Tuesday's Secret. I have travelled far and wide to see this band do their thing (well, as far as Batley at least). Their skillfully delivered, infectious pop punk tunage will have you dancing in the isles and singing in the taxi on the way home. A perfect way to finish the night off.
Now then, between bands, we usually treat you to some of the best acoustic artists in the region (and therefore the country!), but we are proper proud to be able to present something really very special indeedy for this first band night of the season. Mesmorising us with his magical melodies between bands will be none other than the legendary and very unique Shaun T Hunter aka Quiet Rebellion. One of the most consistently critically acclaimed performers in the industry, Shaun's incredibly powerful songs, coupled with his spellbinding stage presence will delight both young and old.
Now, we do know that there are many other pretty good gigs on this Friday throughout the area but, as you can see, the Band Night is surely the place to be ! See you there :) (and do your friends a favour and pass this message on!)
Doors open 7:30pm. Free Entry!
