Anyone doing the circuit will tell you the easy money (after cabaret)
is knocking out ACDC etc covers, and playing blues can be hit'n'miss.
The Tomcatz get round this by playing blues and classic rock to the
highest standard, they belt out a set that covers all the bases.
Opening with a terrific Shadowman the band rip through a high energy
first set that for me had such highlights as Wellers Peacock Suit, a
terrific Rocket to Nowhere, were Roger James powerful vocals impressed.
The bands sound is great, with more gear on stage than Pink Floyd they
get a sound other bands would envy.
The second set revs up with Run Through Jungle, two Hendrix numbers get
the bikers out of the adjoining games room Stone Free and a version of
Purple Haze were Phil Bush eclipses The Hamsters Slim, he then goes on
to top that during Fleetwood Mac's Green Manalishi.
Not to be outdone, The Tomcatz other lead guitar Dave Woods gives us a
version of Miserlou from Pulp Fiction that is so raw and powerful it
can strip dental enamel. We are in the presence of some s--t hot axemen
here.
The pace doesn't let up, Steppenwolf,Stones,Feelgoods a great version
of Costello's Pump it Up, Mick on the drums hammering his way to the
venues cellar. You Really got Me, done as it should be without all that
VanHalanesc widdling.
All this driven by our own Lady Joan Bimson who the more I see, the
more I am convinced doesn't need rehearsing like the rest of us
mortals, you just turn her loose on an audience, you can see she took a
little bit of all our fave Stadium bass players,and added some of her
own venom.
Great stuff, can't wait till next time.
Oh aye, would they have cut it at the old place..
Absolutely!!
