Friday 9 April 2010 - Sometimes things work out better than you expect. Take tonight for example. My cursory scan of t'interweb led me to believe that we would be watching a 5-piece covers band from Newcastle at The Terrace, but no... Rubber Bullets (and here on FaceSpace) are in fact a 5-piece from York comprising Eddy Andersen on vocals, Dan and Phil Hardcastle on guitars, Andy Miller on bass, and, he bangs the drums, Mark Lee.
We were expecting the usual strains of Elvis, Green Day, ABBA, Nivarna, AC/DC, Bowie, etc. but instead were treated to a glorious selection of modern and classic indie anthems. Fantastic! The band put real effort and energy into the gig. The guitar work was top-notch and Eddy's vocals were spot-on. They were superb.
They gave us (not in this order); Hello, Supersonic, Live Forever, and Cigarettes and Alcohol (Oasis), Shoot The Runner, Underdog , Reason Is Treason, Club Foot, and LSF (Kasabian), You Got The Love (Candi Staton as covered by Florence And The Machine), Jailbird, and Get Your Rocks Off (Primal Scream), Steady As She Goes (The Raconteurs), Geraldine (Glasvegas), North Country Boy (The Charlatans), She Left Me On Friday (Shed Seven), Fake Tales of San Franciso, Sun Goes Down, and Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor (Arctic Monkeys), The Bucket, and Molly’s Chambers (Kings of Leon), The Riverboat Song (Ocean Colour Scene), Sally Cinnamon, and She Bangs The Drums (Stone Roses), and Song 2 (Blur). Highly recommended.
