Speed Beaver Music

The night kicked off with a bang, as Southampton based Shiny Toys stormed the venue, and warmed us all up for what was looking to be a good night of music. Swiftly followed by female fronted Patchwork Grace, who wowed the crowd with their trashy energy and magnificent talent. Both support bands had really impressed me, and definately made it to my “bands to listen to asap” list, a very exclusive club I might add. So by now, the whole place was ready and waiting for the rock god, Acey Slade. I was particularly excited to see what he had come up with after his Murderdolls and Trashlight Vision days. The excitement was even more intense after a good dose of burlesque dancing from the beautiful girls upstairs! Boy was I in for a shock when the man himself took the stage. Where was his presence? Where was the passion? I have to say, I was a bit disappointed. The set was bland, and he really seemed to show no shame in revisiting Billy Idol’s “White Wedding” for the millionth time in his carreer. I really hope he picks himself up, I feel he has much more to offer the world of music than just processed garbage. Come on, Acey, pick up the pace!
