HELLRAISER NIGHT, BANSHEE LABYRINTH, EDINBURGH, MAY 12 2023

 A monthly club at the Banshee Labyrinth, offering a selection of  rock'n'metal of all kinds. 

Line-up: 

SOLAR SONS: Hairy man-metal from Dundee. They've been around for ages and, consequently, know their trade inside out.Tight as the proverbial duck's cloaca.








DREAD PERSEPHONE: Not sure what to make of these lads... They LOOK like art school students playing at being in a band with a nu-metal singer. Several of them sport appallingly bad shirts. They SOUND like a progressive metal band, borrowing heavily from their dad's Tool-box. They play a couple of covers - RATM's 'Bullet in the Head and, indeed, Tool's 'The Pot'. They are a lot better than they look. They have a number of enthusiastic and dedicated fans who appear from nowhere when they start and vanish as quickly when they're done. 














MAIN PRIMATE: From callow youths to grizzled veterans - the newest project of  local legends Michael Branagh and Robert Fairfoull, with Hugh Duggie of Sons of the Descent/Foil and another fellow on guitar who I can't place, but I'm sure he's lovely anyway. He might have been in Lowlife. They do a grungy post-punk kind of thing and they're rather fine.
