A Life In Music

Finally one is finished! As promised I'll get the Bad Religion review up ASAP!

And now on to the review:

There's nothing quite like an undeserved rock swagger to spoil a nice evening, that is unless you have the music to back it up! And Van Tramp really do have the music to back it up.

London's Borderline was full and a sweaty mess, the perfect venue for a bit of rawk!

They played a little of everything, from their album, from the upcoming single 'Hope and Pray', to an acoustic number at the beginning of the encore.

I was very impressed with the performance and the band was mixed to perfection, allowing front-man Tim the chance he deserves to shine on vox! A strong performance sounding almost pitch perfect to the record - I saw many people mouthing along and telling their significant other how much they 'LOVE THIS ONE!' I'd also like to give props to the guy on the organ because it's just something I can't resist - a little bit of rock organ can only improve a song in my eyes (and a little MORE never hurts) Oh yes, that and cowbell!

The band were very professional, very tight musically and sporting an (apparently) effortlessly cool old-school rock 'get-up' they really put together a great show.

Impressive to say the least - I urge anyone who gets the chance to check them out live - especially as front-man Tim promised to buy everyone a pint (a promise he insists he's good for).

Myspace

Hey guys I've fallen a little behind on my reviews and such but they are still coming - Don't you worry yourselves about that!

Anyhow, this got me to thinking, who really IS thankful for Fridays? Yes it's the end of the week, but in my job that means everything's due! So it's the last day of the working week but it's also the peak (of my week at least). Basically I thought this was interesting so let me know what you think or if I'm mistaken about it being interesting!

The Van Tramp gig was great, more details to follow and I've been listening to the Bad Religion CD again - which is just stunning so expect those up later today or over the weekend at the latest.

I also found some information on 'Molly Beanland' a new signing to Island records who's working on her album at the moment, I'll probably do a myspace review of her when I get the chance or if I can get hold of a promo or something I'll write about that. In the meantime have a peek at her myspace HERE and see what you think - I reckon that's gonna turn into a big one!

Phew so I had a lot more to talk about than I anticipated!

How's everyone doing out there in blog land? I've been mega-super-ultra busy this week but the weather seems to have been picking up a bit so it's a pleasure to be busy!

Let me know if you have any thoughts about anything I've mention
