Friday 17 April - and once again we are stumbling across a band that we've never seen before. Although they allegedly play The Roman Bath about six times a year, we've never seen Killing Time, a Yorkshire four-piece (lead guitar, bass, drums, and acoustic/rhythm/keyboards). I've no idea of their names and can't find any details about on t'Interweb. Are they shy?
Anyway up, we were treated to a series of eclectic covers comprising as least two Pink Floyd songs which I'm ashamed to say I recognised but couldn't name. I think they were off Division Bell, one of the PF albums that I don't have. Some Dire Straits; Money For Nothing, and Sultans of Swing. A Savage Garden track, To The Moon And Back, which wasn't very well received by the audience, a bit too twee I think. Bon Jovi, It's My Life, and Foo Fighters Times Like These. Two more Floyd songs; Shine On You Crazy Diamond, and Comfortably Numb. For an encore they did an AC/DC track which I didn't recognise. As regular readers will know, there were probably a few more songs thrown in for good measure but the lethal combination my rapidly aging and John Smith's Cask Bitter renders my memory somewhat dodgy.
The lead guitar (Roger?) was brilliant, the vocals were a bit mono-tonal, but they delivered a good selection of unusual covers played in a competent manner, all of which made for a very enjoyable night out. Recommended.
