THE REVIEW - NO PRESSURE |
 NO PRESSURE:
There was something in the wind bringing an optimistic yearning for the arrival of 2009.
While there was much brilliant local entertainment to be had around the Coast, I was spreading the Whats On word down at The Entrance and assisting with the merch table for Peter Healy and the Hurricanes huge New Years gig on the Memorial Park Stage to thousands of happy revelers.
All revved up but a little late for the start I was set further into celebration mode with a rockingly brilliant rendition of Blink 182 on my arrival. I was looking for the source of this but could only see a young group of kids on the stage that surely couldn't be THAT good... surely.... WOW!!!
The boys continued their attempts to blow my socks off with more excellently performed covers of, Hard To Handle,
Bad Boy For Love,
TNT,
Evie,
Better,
Long Way To The Top,
Highway To Hell and
Marseilles to name but a few.
Honestly these young kids would be at home and setting off sprinklers in any major covers venue such is their talent. Yes I keep saying young as they are only 14 year old boys, still in school but obviously with a passion for music.
Their original work I still have to have more of a listen to (my grandson took the CD before I had a chance to hear it - they now have another number one fan) but the quick listen while they were performing them live sounded well written and composed for guys of so few years, with perhaps only a tad more polish to be applied as they grow.
The extremely professional stage set up, merchandise and overall marketing approach show that the guidance and advice these guys are receiving is well planned and knowledgeable.
A brilliant start for sure for anyone starting in the industry. That was almost as much of a pleasure to see as was the music to hear.
While I do love discovering new and original music
I have to admit these young lads took me back in time to the fabulous times of small stages with Doc Neeson, Angry and all the now 'old bands' that these young kids would obviously loved to have seen.
If there was that scale of one to ten to place this band on the talent meter the first thing that comes to my mind is 'Hey Keef - Turn it up to eleven'!
