Hollywood Doll @ The Barhouse

Hollywood Doll did our first ever gig at The Barhouse in Chelmsford tonight. Nobody had realised that there was an England game on tonight which probably explains the poor turnout. It was nice to see Steve, Paul and Mike (from work) plus Mike's son put in an appearance though. All support is always well received!

HOLLYWOOD DOLL
We had a blast tonight. Our performances are always based on a desire to put on a show and play well regardless of the crowd and tonight was no exception. We put on a good hard set and debuted a new song, Stab You In The Back which was well received. The Barhouse is a great little venue with the added novelty of all gigs being streamed live on the net as well.

JOHNNY GET THE GUN
I like these guys. We have played with them before (at Chinnerys). They have a good hard sound with some great melodies.

VERSUS THE CIRCUS
These guys were an indie band that had some very close calls with The Cure but weren't dark enough to make it convincing. They were OK but didn't really leap out and grab me.


WALK IN COMA
Serious respect to these guys. Their singer had forgotten to book time off work but the rest of the band decided to stick it out and do the gig themselves with the drummer taking on the vocal duties. OK it wasn't necessarily a fair representation of them but all credit for having the balls to do it even if they did cut their set a little short. Would love to see them with the real singer!
