Fozzy @ Camden Dingwalls

Toni, Sam and I hit Camden tonight for the delights of Fozzy at Dingwalls. Doors were late opening and there was a LONG queue which turned out to be a bummer for the opening act!



NEVERBORNE
Missed half the set due to the amount of time to get into the venue. Good hard thrashy stuff but with a little melody thrown in to make it accessible.




MIT
Thrashy noise with unintelligible vocals and little in the way of stand out tracks from the assualt. Despite the best efforts of the singer to try and get a pit going it was just never going to happen. Crowd warmed to them slowly but they weren't for me. Could have been one of a million bands of this genre and I'd still be none the wiser. If they introduced who they were it was not a message well communicated although I did find out at the end.




VOODOO VEGAS
Rock n roll sleazester got the crowd well and truly warmed up. Superb frontman who commanded and received audience participation! Reminded me of King Lizard. Really good band and some great songs. Why have I never heard if them before?






FOZZY
This is why we were here. Having missed out on the London show last year due to recovering from my op it was good to finally get the chance to see ex-WWE wrestler Chris Jericho and his musical project with Stuck Mojo. Fozzy couldn't have done anything wrong if they had tried tonight. When the band weren't playing the crowd were chanting Fozzy relentlessly. It was a good hard hitting set and Jericho is obviously having a blast (as are his fellow band mates) touring the world and enjoying his break from the WWE.

Fozzy Fozzy Fozzy? HELL YEAH!
