Three draw crowd to storming show

I OPENED the show to a full house with my acoustic guitar, being between bands at the moment. It's difficult to review your own gig objectively, but I think it's fair to say that everyone was in awe of my performance and by the third song women wanted me and men wanted to be me.

Always Never are a really big draw round our way right now. Four hoodies with more chops than the meat counter at Morrison's, illuminated by backlit camera phones and mini DV recorders held aloft by the teenage faithful as they powered through a seriously good set of grungy metally stuff that manages to be aggressive and progressive at the same time.

AN Other are a pint of bitter to Always Nevers' lager top. Big beefy hard rock riffing from manly bricklayer types that you'd trust to wave in your HGV. If Black Sabbath had AC/DC's energy they'd make a similar racket.
