RED CRUST PROMOTIONS step outside of their metally comfort zone with an evening of alt-rock, featuring a pair of touring bands and a couple of youthful local upstarts. You might notice that only ONE of those perky locals appears here, and you'd be right. Due to an early start, roadworks, accidents and ridiculous Edinburgh traffic, I didn't get to see THE CLOVERS, but I'm sure they were amazing.
VENUE: LEGENDS
Line-up:
BAMBITOS: Youth, enthusiasm and alt-metal in one bouncy package. They don't, however, seem to have a Facebook page, so good luck finding them out there. Instagram seems to be the place to look.
CRYSTALLINE: With that name, you might expect shoegaze, or dream-pop, but no. CRYSTALLINE are 'melodic and serrated' alt-rock. From Wales.
NIGHT THIEVES: The 'heaviest' band of the night, alt-metal from the bottom right corner of England, featuring a man with a hat, and what is probably the ugliest bass guitar I've seen in a long time.
If I could offer Night Thieves one piece of - non-musical - advice, I'd ask them to rethink their logo. I can see where they're coming from, with the N and the T, but it still looks a bit... nazi.
