Paradise, drawn in blood, twisted torn, round a lullaby, with love


Friday 11 December - I'm a bad person, I went to see Mostly Autumn on Friday 4 December but didn't blog them. However, The Druid did, so read his blog instead.


So, we went for the covers option this weekend, Copowt at The Roman Bath. We've seen these before and they have a popular following. They're not as technically expert as some of the bands we see, but they make up for this by their enthusiasm and the excellent mix of covers they do, popular stuff that gets the crowd singing along. CopOwt are a five-piece covers band from Copmanthorpe, just outside York, and consist of: Russ (vocals), Alan (guitar and vocals), Paul (guitar), Paul (drums), and Seon (bass and vocals).


So what did we get? From my addled memory and in no particular order: Dakota and Local boy in a photograph (Stereophonics), Teenage Kicks (Undertones), Buck Rogers (Feeder), Modern Way and I predict a riot (Kaiser Chiefs), When the sun goes down (Arctic Monkeys), Should I stay or should I go (The Clash), Pretty Vacant (The Sex Pistols), Sex on fire (Kings of Leon), White Wedding (Billy Idol), Hanging on the telephone (Blondie), Bohemian like you (Dandy Warhols), Hush (Deep Purple), Ever fallen in love (Buzzcocks), Cigarettes and alcohol, Rock 'n roll star and Roll with it (Oasis), Basket case (Greenday), and Chasing Cars (Snow Patrol). Jolly excellent stuff, recommended.
