lilly allen - WTF seriously...whats going on over in blighty, was horrendous...although she got massive amounts of hype over here for some awful reason...pub music that belongs with chas and dave.

 

the automatic - overated punk , kid, rock with a strange little kid of keyboards who likes to scream and jump..

 

the gallows - ahhhhhhhh thats better, excellent full of energy punk band...all members jumping of the stage first song and trashing the venue....great stuff

 

the stooges - iggy with a stage dive 2nd song....played all the "hits" plus a selection from the new album....excellent and well worth waiting through the horrible "spoon" for..

 

rocco de luca - the guy lacks personalliy, still he has a stunning voice and some wonderful songs......see great potential here

 

danny and the nightmares - the usual fantastic set......starting with dan johnston givung the hitler salute?!?! dunno why.....we can forgive him though, he does have issues

 

the misfats -oh yessssssssssssss a fat misfits cover band from portland....excellent!

 

vietnam - hippy rock from new york...lots of beard....i like it

 

kings of leon - much better live than on cd....was really impressed, the band lacks a bit of stage presence, still with songs this powerful live.....some bands dont need it
