Well it was off on the bus to one of my favourite venues up here,always a pleasure to go to the Market Bar,cracking atmosphere to be had. First things first after getting of the bus it was to have a pint at the wee downstairs bar which as always was full of all the real worthies/reprobates in Inverness, and I wasn't disappointed!! Upstairs to the gig I went where i met Nikki and Sheree from the Signal which was a good start to the night. First on were [ ] wall [ ], this is a two piece instrumental, for want of a better word, a drummer and a 5 string bass player,didn't know anything about them but they were excellent! Really good stuff, hard to describe as I have seen nothing like them before,pure power from the drums and a bass played like a lead guitar!! Thoroughly enjoyed their set and would definately like to see them again, I also scored a Cd-r from them too!! Great stuff!!
Next on were Bin Ladens Daughter,fresh from all the sound problems they had at the Phoenix I had hoped that I would see them without any problems tonight and indeed that's what we got. Really cracking set from the guys,playing all the faves including the great "Terry Wogans Cock" always a crowd pleaser. Super set tonight that showed what they are all about,great no nonsense punk rock band and Bry has added a great new dimension to the band,a super front man!
Wheelchair x4 were on next, a band I have heard a wee bit off and I really looked forward to seeing this 2 man grind band from Glasgow, and again not a disappointment,supper stuff!! The Glasgow banter inbetween songs is good fun too!! They played the tracks of their Cd,which I bought and is well worth seeking out by the way, and were shit hot, a really good band who I would love to see again, I love my grindcore and they were really good to see.
Last band on tonight were You Dead from Elgin rock city, a band who Donnie from the Syndicate had said I would enjoy and he was right on the button! Great punk rock band with some topping patter too!! Dan played on tables and on top of his amp stack!! pure class! Really good set from the band and I will certainly be seeing them again, they remind me of a throw back to early punk the real 77 style stuff. I must also say big thanks to Dan for the merch too!! Scored some vinyl, some tapes and a shit load of stickers!! Great stuff!!
Well all in all a superb night of music at the Market Bar, 4 top notch outfits all very different but all really good and I cant think of a better endorsement to see i would love to see all 4 bands again.
Big shout out to Andy the guy I met who came over to talk as he spotted had a Darkthrone t-shirt on as did he!! Great minds think alike my friend!!
So it was off home half-pished and pockets full off merch. another great night out, cheers guys!!!
