Hazelrigg Rocks

Been a Long time since we rock 'n' rolled
Well about 5 months since our last gig at Hazelrigg Victory Club, and we are pleased to report, we had a fantastic night again.We love to be able to play on a stage (as it makes a big change )and this club has one of the best ones.It really make you play better, as you can look out over the whole room at once and see if everyone is having a good time.We were given a very warm reception on arrival and half way through the second set , we noticed the bar staff drumming along( to Radar Love) with their drinking straw drum sticks, in perfect time might i add.
We would like to Thank everyone who came,and thanks for sticking with us during our small technical fault ( Don't buy your batteries from the pound shop....well not for a gig anyway)
We hope to see you all later on in the year .........Keep Rockin @ Hazelrigg

Whitley Bay ROCKS..........

Not bad for a 2 year old ?
Last night saw our 2ND Anniversary as a band , and wot a way to celebrate.We did n't get into the gig till a wee bit later than usual, due to the Newcastle match having a 5.30 kick off, but after a quick set up we were ready to rock.It's hard to believe we have only been doing this for 2 years as SPARTAN, but as the old saying goes 'time flies when your having fun', and as a mature 2 year old we can safely say we still has a much fun now as we did when all this started.
People sometimes say History repeats itself and last night was no exception, 2 years to the day 'The Mighty Mick - The Stick' managed to repeat history by splitting his Bass Drum skin ....Again, he has only ever done this twice and both times were at the Fat Ox.
We would just like to thank everyone who came to see us last night, the place was jumping and we had such a Great night.. we wish we could do it all over again and again an again.

Sunday nite, i'll miss church ?

A Sunday night gig ?
It makes a nice change to be gigging on a Sunday, and we were at the Borough, Sunderland on Sunday.We all remembered our first gig there and had forgotten how restrictive the space was to set up in.
But it was a Great Nite, really good crowd and we all had a Blast, even 'The Hamster' who managed to kill a glass with the power of the bass( he'd only been able to do that with the sub woofer before) so it gave him a bit of a shock.We remembered that we did n't need to bring the backdrop and so it was a quick-ish set up and take down.Hope Mick managed to get the shoe prints off his drum heads ready for the next gig ( only glad the lass was n't wearing high heels) ...and if that does n't make any sense then you had to be there........
Thanks to all the Bar Staff and customers at the Borough... we had a great nite...

Bedlington Rokkz..........

'No Pressure'......please
'Well i'm never going to try to use new gear at a gig again',Said Garry after trying to get the bands new wireless mikes to work.But to no avail so we had to use our tried but tested old ones instead.After this 'little' technical problem, we managed to get sorted and ready to Rock in one of the bands favorite venues.
Garry was using his newest toy last night an old Westone Super Headless bass ( soon to be a new classic ), and must say it gave him a new lease of life, he was spotted lying on top of the sub-woofer whilst playing.Well not to be upstaged both him and Kev clambered onto the subwoofer during one of the last numbers ( they said it was so the people at the back could see them? )
We were just getting settled in and we were on to our last song, a few encores later and we were packing up again ( it's the bit we all hate....With a Passion..)
We had a Fantastic night and can't wait to play there again soon...and Thanks for all the kind words.
