First of three gigs this weekend.
I must admit, it was the support that drew me to this one. Nothing against local heavyweights HAMMER, they're great but I've seen them a number of times before. On the other hand, who could resist a band called FROGLORD?
Seems all of the bands on this line-up are Metal 2 the Masses winners. Well done, them.
KRAKEN WAKER: Sludgy stoners from Newcastle, Very beardy. Introducing fourth band member, OLLIE. He's very small.

SPACE PISTOL: Alt-metal/grunge, apparently, from Milton Keynes. Self-described as 'the gay Slipknot'. Not sure about that... Great fun, though, and the bass player has a pedal board the size of Belgium.

FROGLORD: Amphibious royalty, second only to GOBLINSMOKER's Toad King. Possibly. Masks, robes, doom. And frogs.

HAMMER: Scotland's own turbo-metal bruisers. Fast and furious, and fond of trains.
