They previously worked on cruise ships doing covers; later deciding to return to Leicester and work on their own material. Of course I bought a copy of their EP which features some of the songs they played that evening; definitely a band worth watching.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The DT\u2019s<\/strong> were excellent this year; playing a lot of their more well-known material to a sold out venue. They have been round for a while and are also well worth keeping a lookout for. They hadn\u2019t played live for some time before their comeback gig last year; let\u2019s hope they continue gigging in the future, the evening will not be a disappointment. I bought an album from them last year which I very much enjoy, recommending others to do the same.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/thedellagrants\" target=\"_blank\">The Della Grants on Facebook<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/The-DTs\/436574239754513\" target=\"_blank\">The DTs on Facebook<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>31st January<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Charlotte Carpenter at The Cookie Jar<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3548\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3548\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.musicinleicester.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Charlotte-Carpenter.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3548\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.musicinleicester.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Charlotte-Carpenter.jpg?resize=600%2C338\" alt=\"Charlotte Carpenter Photo Trevor Cobbe\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.musicinleicester.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Charlotte-Carpenter.jpg?w=600&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.musicinleicester.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Charlotte-Carpenter.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3548\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Charlotte Carpenter<br \/>Photo Trevor Cobbe<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>with Bellawave and Joe Morrell<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Charlotte Carpenter\" href=\"http:\/\/www.musicinleicester.co.uk\/charlotte-carpenter\/\">Read Trevor Cobbe&#8217;s report<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>30th January<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Furies and Flying Kangaroo Alliance, Pi Bar<\/h2>\n<p>by Adrian Manning<\/p>\n<p>I was looking forward to this gig as I haven&#8217;t seen either band live before.

They sounded great and this was translated into their performance later in the evening. Announcing that &#8220;we are a band from Leicester called Furies and this is called war in the city&#8221;, \u00a0they kicked into a set of tight, muscular songs that crossed a range of reference points and displayed some great interplay between the four members. I tried to pinpoint some musical markers but the tracks weaved in and out of paces, riffs (some crunchingly heavy) and delicate finger work combined with a combination of solid rock beats and rolling fills to accompany varying vocals including many multi vocal calls and shouts that it became a unique sound of its own. Playing tracks from the <em>Death Valley<\/em> CD including &#8216;<em>Punisher<\/em>&#8216; and &#8216;<em>Drink, Sleep, Fight, Fuck<\/em>&#8216; plus the popular live favourite &#8216;<em>On Your Own<\/em>&#8216; the band&#8217;s intense set provided a high benchmark for the evening and I look forward to seeing them live again.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3610\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3610\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.musicinleicester.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Flying-Kangaroo-Alliance-at-Pi-Bar.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3610\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.musicinleicester.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Flying-Kangaroo-Alliance-at-Pi-Bar.jpg?resize=600%2C450\" alt=\"Flying Kangaroo Alliance at Pi Bar Photo Keith Jobey\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.musicinleicester.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Flying-Kangaroo-Alliance-at-Pi-Bar.jpg?w=600&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.musicinleicester.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Flying-Kangaroo-Alliance-at-Pi-Bar.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3610\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Flying Kangaroo Alliance at Pi Bar<br \/>Photo Keith Jobey<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Flying Kangaroo Alliance<\/strong> have released one single previously &#8211; containing the awesome &#8216;<em>Hit The Wall<\/em>&#8216;, &#8216;<em>Wasted<\/em>&#8216; and &#8216;<em>Drunk<\/em>&#8216;, \u00a0so I was eager to hear these live. &#8216;<em>Wasted<\/em>&#8216; made an late appearance and highlighted what was great about this band &#8211; catchy vocals underpinned by a solid rhythm section of hard hitting drums and rumbling bass with great riffs and guitar embellishments.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;<em>Hit The Wall<\/em>&#8216; preceded it and I found myself easily singing along against the infectious solid riff. In Meri Everitt, the band has an incredible singer and songwriter. Some tracks from her solo album made an appearance, \u00a0including &#8216;<em>America<\/em>&#8216;, which is slightly different in its overall feel to other material with it&#8217;s shuffling drums and its evoking of the grandness and sheer size of its namesake country, and the stripped down solo performance of &#8216;<em>Lonely<\/em>&#8216;, \u00a0which affords the other band members a chance to grab a quick beer.<\/p>\n<p>The lyrics are often very sobering and tell of life&#8217;s difficulties faced by many of us but the music is uplifting and balances this aspect well. &#8216;<em>What It Takes&#8217;<\/em>, &#8216;<em>Drunk<\/em>&#8216; and &#8216;<em>Prince Of Darkness<\/em>&#8216; were other great tracks performed and overall it was a great set. As with the Furies, the band are a tight, solid outfit that create great songs!<\/p>\n<p>So two great bands for free in a nice intimate venue.

Her astonishingly powerful voice soon had the audience warmly applauding her set of up-beat, contemporary cover songs. A singer to watch out for in the future, without a doubt.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">The first band of the night \u2013 <strong>Bridged<\/strong> \u2013 saw three young musicians opening their set with a big number with vocals from the bassist and backing vocals from the guitarist. Think of White Stripes, to get an idea of their style. They played some of their own songs, along side some covers. Confident in their performance and displaying some good work on the strings, Bridged delivered a varied selection of tunes, including Kasabian&#8217;s <em>Where Did All The Love Go<\/em>. The trio, from Thrapstone, was playing their first gig tonight and it was certainly an impressive start.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Bridgedofficial?fref=ts\" target=\"_blank\">Follow Bridged on Facebook<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">The oddly named <strong>IV<\/strong>, four lads from Leicester, took to the stage with their singing drummer to present their set of pacey covers songs, tunes that had a goodly level of rhythm. Their cover from Queens of the Stone Age went down well.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">From Derbyshire the four-piece band <strong>I Surrender<\/strong> were back at the Shed to give us another amazing set with the vocals being delivered by the guitarists, they covered the Arctic Monkeys <em>You Look Good on the Dance floor<\/em>, with some of the their own songs from their album. <em>I Predict a Riot<\/em> by the Kaiser Chiefs and <em>When The Sun goes Down<\/em> by the Arctic Monkeys gave I Surrender plenty of opportunity to demonstrate their verve and energy presenting themselves as an accomplished young band with a cart-load of talent.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Excellent<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/ISurrender\/190947310950294\" target=\"_blank\">Follow I Surrender on Facebook<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/isurrender.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\">or on the band&#8217;s web site<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>18th January<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">obsUnplugged.<\/h2>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.musicinleicester.co.uk\/obs-unplugged-reviews\/\">Read our review of the obsUnplugged at The Musician<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>17th January<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">obsUnplugged.<\/h2>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.musicinleicester.co.uk\/obs-unplugged-reviews\/\">obsUnplugged at the Musician.

This review contains information about three of the best bands in the country! So if you \u00a0are not of an open mind and don&#8217;t like to be excited turn away now!<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Any of the three bands playing tonight could have headlined and, as a collective, \u00a0the opportunity was shared equally. So, in what the Guardian billed as &#8216;a night of contemporary and classic blues&#8217;, it fell to <strong>The\u00a0Pale Faces<\/strong> to open the proceedings. They are simply amazing. The sound and visuals could have arrested\u00a0anyone and it was pretty hard to take your ears and eyes off them.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Janice Raw is a captivating lead\u00a0singer, percussionist and performer. A natural show-stealer; \u00a0she entered in a gold flowing cloak and\u00a0multi-coloured headress as Danni Jeffery and Garry Greenaway, \u00a0on synth and bass\/drums respectively,\u00a0began the throbbing, pulsing beat. The set included new songs such as \u00a0&#8216;<em>Now<\/em>&#8216;, \u00a0plus favourites \u00a0&#8216;<em>No More Kisses<\/em>&#8216;, &#8216;<em>Eat You Alive<\/em>&#8216; and the final crowd participating vocal noisefest that was &#8216;<em>Black Swan<\/em>&#8216;.\u00a0Costume changes, heavy energy and a myriad of sounds ran through the set. The band must have\u00a0found a time machine once upon a time that zooms them around soaking up the past and the future\u00a0before blending them in a giant cacophony of sound &#8211; beautiful, dark, spacy, aggressive, loud, quiet &#8211;\u00a0that encompasses everything in one immense experience. They get better every time I see them and\u00a0there are moments when they transcend the space we are existing in.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/5ZLlflI_ecQ\" target=\"_blank\">Watch this video by Kevin Gaughan of the Pale Faces performing at the show<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">On stage next were <strong>Preacher and the Bear<\/strong> and Greenaway gets no respite, focusing on drums while the Bear\u00a0ripped the blues out of six strings and the Preacher hammered his keys into eventual submission. If band\u00a0energy alone could power the Musician, you could have seen the place from space!<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">&#8216;<em>Can&#8217;t Afford No\u00a0Train<\/em>&#8216;, &#8216;<em>Weed And Wimmin<\/em>&#8216; and a rocking, rebel &#8211; rousing &#8216;<em>Got My Mojo Workin<\/em>&#8216; were such crowd-pleasers that the front rows couldn&#8217;t help but get on down, move their feet, shake their hips and holler\u00a0along with the band! It&#8217;s electrifying!<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">This band might have the blues but they brought the Goodtimes along\u00a0with them. The Bear asked if we wanted a slow one or a fast one and the answer is resounding! Fast!\u00a0The Preacher and the Bear sound bigger, meatier and flashier with every performance and are now\u00a0matching the Bear&#8217;s mighty physical presence.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">So to tonight&#8217;s headliners &#8211; <strong>Subtitles.\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0Since expanding to a three piece, \u00a0they have become more manic, faster and more fun than ever. Think \u00a0of a garage band of B-movie freaks on speed, \u00a0at a high school bop, \u00a0playing the last gig on earth and\u00a0you get some idea of what they are like.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">The crowd was \u00a0well into it and moving like the floor won&#8217;t stay \u00a0still. \u00a0Opening with &#8216;<em>Folsom Prison Blues<\/em>&#8216;, ripping through &#8216;<em>Return of the Walking Dead<\/em>&#8216;, &#8216;<em>I&#8217;m An Animal<\/em>&#8216;,\u00a0&#8216;<em>High School Confidential<\/em>&#8216; and others, \u00a0at a break-neck pace, hurtling around the stage, \u00a0this is what it\u00a0feels like to be alive &#8211; pure rock n roll energy in the moment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Their blistering cover of &#8216;<em>No More Kisses<\/em>&#8216;\u00a0completed the circle with The Pale Faces and a great cover of &#8216;<em>My Boyfriend&#8217;s Back<\/em>&#8216; featuring the\u00a0mystery girls &#8216;<em>The Kittenetes<\/em>&#8216; (how do they magically appear?) are fantastic. The show ended with a\u00a0brilliant version of &#8216;<em>Whole Lotta Shakin<\/em>&#8216;, \u00a0which climaxes with a stage invasion of shakin&#8217; bodies and a\u00a0pile up in the drum kit!<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Finally in response to crowd response the three bands perform the Subtitles&#8217; version of &#8216;<em>Monster\u00a0Mash<\/em>&#8216;, drinks are handed out and a buzz of satisfaction spreads around the venue.\u00a0As Preacher Buck said &#8220;it&#8217;s definitely been a rock n roll night&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Let the
