Public shows to select acts for the Glastonbudget Festival started last year. The auditions had already started when we reported on the show held on 5 September last year<\/a>. Tonight’s show was however the last in the current season.<\/p>\n

The Glastonbudget Festival takes place on 22nd to 24th May<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Opening tonight’s show was Revolutionary Summer<\/strong>. The band from Nuneaton played a set of their own songs. They previously appeared at The Shed on 11th February when they were on a line-up with Reuben Wisner, Lydia Mason, Before The Crash and Flight15 for the Lung Fest, Cystic Fibrosis charity gig.<\/p>\n

Indie rock band from Loughborough Bloodsugar<\/strong> had brought a very large contingent of fans with them;\u00a0 this was, we were told, their first gig in addition to being their audition for the Glastonbudget festival.<\/p>\n

The five members of the group included Callum Jones in the lead role. They state on their Facebook Page:\u00a0 ‘Once together, the band rehearsed intensively and produced a live demo of their track Eye Of The Storm<\/em> in one take at deadline studios Leicester. The band\u2019s sound incorporates heavy indie bands such as Oasis and Kasabian alongside lighter bands such as The Smiths from Luke\u2019s guitar sound. ‘ Facebook<\/a><\/p>\n

For a new band playing its first gig, they did well.<\/p>\n

Listen to their song Eye of the Storm<\/em> on Soundcloud<\/a><\/p>\n

I knew the lead singer from The River Chickens<\/strong>. Joel Wildgoose established himself as solo singer of some distinction and now he is with this four-piece band from Ashby de la Zouch, home of such music luminaries as The Young Knives.<\/p>\n

Also in the band are brothers Aidan Blythe and Owen Blythe who we remembered from the astonishing Bosworth band called Brother<\/strong>, which we reviewed in May 2012. Another member of Brother was Ali Clinton, now a singer, songwriter and band member (his band will be playing at the OBS on 21st March.)<\/p>\n

Well, so much for the history; tonight’s performance by The River Chickens provided a very workmanlike delivery of a set of cover songs that included Thin Lizzy’s The Boys Are back in Town<\/em> (appropriately enough) and Jumping Jack Flash<\/em> by The Rolling Stones. Entertaining on stage, playing music of a high standard, they really rocked.\u00a0 A good set of songs delivered with zeal and thrust, they got the audience dancing.<\/p>\n

\"Bombardiers<\/a>

From Daventry, The Bombardiers<\/strong> were a four-piece blues\/rock trio lead by guitarist and singer Barclay Quarton. The band formed in 2012\/14 they play covers and original songs. As one media expert commented to me “The lead singer has a good voice.”<\/p>\n

The Bombardiers on Facebook<\/a>
\nThey have some songs on ReverbNation<\/a><\/p>\n

I think it would be justifiable to say that the stars of tonight’s show, the headline band was Four Point Oh<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The Leicester hard rock band lists its members as Oli Frost – Drums\/Piano\/Vox, Becky Woolman- Lead Vocals, Lewis Danes – Guitar, Ryan Humphreys – Bass, Oskie Wright – Guitar\/BVox and Lorenzo Morandi – Guitar.\u00a0 Since 2011 the band has played many festivals and big shows in our local area.<\/p>\n

Four Point Oh is one of our featured bands, so you can read all about them on Music in Leicester<\/a>.
\nTonight Four Point Oh played a solidly good set, fired up with plenty of energy and resilience. The drama and atmosphere of a 4.0 gig is something that everyone should see. The band is appearing on 29th March at The Firebug with Black Whiskey and Mammoth.<\/p>\n

Congratulations to Jamie Borland<\/strong> who introduced new lighting rigs to The Shed tonight;\u00a0 it made a very noticeable different to the ambience. Well done that man.<\/p>\n
