The Wildhearts

Last night was a really good gig. The band were really tight, and Scott Sorry was fantastic. In terms of showmanship, he is by far the best Wildheart ever on stage.

On-stage banter was kept a minimum, and most songs flowed into one another - which I fucking love. I mean why stop at the end of the song to say stuff like "hey Cardiff" or "this song is blah blah"? The best example of this was Nexus Icon going straight into Sick of Drugs.

The only quibble was that there were only two new songs played last night.

Support acts GU Medicine were pub-rock, but the Icelandic band Sign were really ace. Shame that the audience didn't really take to them (with the exception of their cover of Skid Row's 'Youth Gone Wild'.)

Yeah mate great gig...
Lovin the new songs rootin sounded bloody huge..
scott is a fuckin star,ritch is a beast,cj looks like he is havin a ball & ginger apart from moaning about touring while 'clean' was on top form..

Nice one, cheers.

Did anyone notice the boys were drinking powerade !!!

i know the lads are doing the tour 'clean' but bottles of energy drinks just don't look as cool on top of amps as a bottle of stella

Does anyone know the name of the roadie with the red spiked hair his face was very familiar ?

That would be Duncan (I think).

He features towards the end of the Anthem video. Also did some guitar tech for 3 Colours Red if memory serves me right.

Top marks go to the roadies of the Wildhearts. Remember thinking on the night they were incredibly thorough in setting everything up.
