The unknown borrowed equipment may have contributed to some of the tech problems, but these guys didn’t let that stop them from delivering one of the most memorable gigs seen at The Albert in quite a while. I hear they lost pretty much everything including most of their merch, a terrible thing to happen.

Sadly I understand their van which housed their equipment was stolen. Always on point even though he did seem to be having some tech issues from time to time. On guitar was James Stevenson, a brilliant musician who I had the chance to see play with The Alarm. Both songs delivered with perfection by Aston and the band. Jay shouting “Do It Do It” leading into a great guitar break. The powerful Bruises was in there and Jays guitars opened up Break The Chain. In my opinion it’s an astounding musical balance and a delight to see play live. Peter Rizzo bass tabs along with Steve ‘Smiley’ Barnard on drums create an extraordinarily perfect rhythm…and (last but not least) Astons vocals, lyrics and guitars bring this whole show and line up together. And just how good they sound! James Stevenson on guitars is outstanding, a true force, as well as creative with what he had with him equipment wise tonight. Some of you may not have heard these guys play live, well they are on tour and here is a chance to see and hear what all the fuss was about. Gene Love Jezebel: Photo by Ian Bourn for Scene Sussex
