Hollywood Doll @ The Fat Surfer

Gig time again. This time we were at The Fat Surfer in Grays courtesy of Unified Sounds and their Essex Rocks night.

BLACK VENDETTA
Black Vendetta (also known as Nathan Virica) delivers hurting songs in the style of Nikki Sudden/Dave Kusworth and The Jacobites. It was one man, a guitar and a backing track. He actually showed great potential (for those of us that actually got what he was aiming for) but was a little rough around the edges. With a little bit more practice this is definitely one to keep a cursory eye on.




WIRED DESIRE
Wired Desire shot from the hip with some classic rock n roll bluesy boogie. Sadly they only managed a very short set due to not bring prepared which was a shame.




INTERNAL SCARS
Punk rock roll emo with lots of bouncy songs. Very energetic set which finished with a cover of Kunt & The Gang's Use My Arsehole As A Cunt (The Nick Clegg Story).




TANK TRAP
Funky rock metal with influences from Audioslave, Rage Against The Machine, Tool and maybe a little hint of Jay Kay (Jamiroqui) thrown in for good measure. Good solid tunes and the singer had an amazing voice.




HOLLYWOOD DOLL
Whilst this might not have been our finest hour we still got the job done and were well received by a good sized crowd.
