BLACK GROOVE, LEGENDS, EDINBURGH, FEBRUARY 20 2026

Sludge, chaos and riffs. I'm guessing that NOTAFLOF is not some kind of Pokemon, but means 'No one turned away for lack of funds'.

Another night with very few lights, hence the questionable quality of the pics. 


Line-up:

A.V.L: If you've ever checked out this blog, you'll probably have come across A.V.L. before now. They're as good as ever, angry and intense, and bust out a NEW SONG at the end of their set. Drummer is sad, though, as Finland lost the ice-hockey to Canada in the Olympics

ACID THRONE: Nasty blackened sludge/doom/hardcore from Norwich

BLACK GROOVE: Chaos sludge from dahn sarf, featuring confrontation, contortion, gurning and a bit of bottleneck guitar, Great stuff.

Sadly, I found out tonight that the rumours of the sale of LEGENDS are, very probably true, and we will be losing one of the best venues in Edinburgh. It will, apparently, be added to a chain of themed bars, most likely with a 'Western' vibe. Good news, perhaps, for the stag & hen scene, not so good for rock'n'metal. At least it's not going to be another Wetherspoons...
