Friday 24 April - It's the name of a three piece cover band, as well as a rude euphemism for onanism (lots of -isms here), tonight we are off to The Roman Bath to see Skin The Lizard. I arrived just as they plucked the first chord and we were immediately into Oasis' Cigarettes and Alcohol, always a good start as far as I'm concerned. 'A' arrived just after they they finished their second tune, The Police's Roxanne.
To say there was only three of them, they managed a fair range of songs and played extremely well. One feature we did like was that the speakers were angled to point into the centre of the room instead of straight ahead, which sends the sound to the bar-staff. I didn't manage to get a set list, relying on once more on my flakey memory, we did get two renditions of Bon Jovi's Living On A Prayer and two of AC/DC's Highway to Hell, plus another three AC/DC tracks, Are You Gonna Go My Way (Lenny Kravitz), Local Boy In A Photograph and Dakota (Stereophonics), Rock And Roll (Led Zep), She Sells Sanctuary (The Cult), Route 66 (Bobby Troup), two Foo Fighter's one of which was DOA, Maggie May (Rod Stewart), Brown Sugar and Gimme Shelter (The Rolling Stones), Vertigo (U2), and I Predict A Riot (Kaiser Chiefs).
An entertaining evening was had; there was a bunch of boisterous bravoes, one of whom had to be escorted off the premises by his friends as he was in danger of getting lumped. We also had a mysterious harmonica player who entered the stage area and played along to Rock And Roll with the band. No good reason, he wasn't known to the band, he just did it.
