NIGHTSTALKER, LEGENDS, EDINBURGH, FEBRUARY 18 2023

OK, so this will be the last of the easy archive gig posts. After this, we'll be going backwards in time and digging around in Facebook for pics. Which'll be fun. 

And there will be new stuff as and when it happens, obviously.

Don't see many Greek bands in Edinburgh. Here's one.



Line-up:

ROBOT DEATH MONKEY: 'Scotland's hardest band', briefly joined tonight by a third Forshaw, namely sister Sarah, on vocals. That's her there, without the beard.

THE KRYSS TALMETH EXPERIENCE
: The grooviest of psychedelic stoners

NIGHTSTALKER: I think we can safely call Nightstalker veteran Greek Stoners. First, they've been around since 1989. Second, they're from Athens. Which is in Greece. Third...well, yeah.
