Band Watching
So this is the blog
post where I point out some bands that I've enjoyed on our many great
journeys gigging across the entire of... Sheffield, so far. While
none of these bands have agreed to do the lawnmower dance with me
they did pay some great music, and I guess that's something to look
for in a band as well? To be clear though, when another band does the
lawnmower they will be the highlight of this list.
Frank Grimes and
the Disasters
I suspect these guys may be fans of American cartoons for some
reason.... I love the name and I enjoyed the music when they joined
us in supporting Courage my Love at Corporation in November. Their
tunes are catchy pop punk- right up my street, and very singable- I
wished I knew the lyrics when we saw them perform live but I had to
make do with saying “something something something” over and
over. It's refreshing to know that there is a pop punk band like this
so close to us (based in Barnsley) that I can follow. Check out their
youtube channel for music and lyrics videos of their songs....

Ample Funk
Funky, funky, funksters. I'm not sure if funksters is a word,
probably not, but these guys deserve the title as they provide
exactly what their name suggests with ample amount of funk. I
literally could not stop my knee jerking to the sound of the bass as
they played through their set at the Washington, keeping me
mesmerized throughout. They fortunately have uploaded some of their
funky songs onto youtube so everyone can enjoy the funkiness..

Idle Gentlemen
Finally idle gentlemen, who I also saw at our Washington gig, were
very stylish on stage and also played some groovy rock music. I
especially enjoyed the powerful vocals but the entire band kept me
very much entertained- very easy to head bang too. They also have a
youtube and soundcloud where you can check out some of their super
cool tunes..

That's it for the blog this week, check back for more band watching; dance moves; lyrics explaining or rages against the system of clowns
that keep balloons enslaved to the ground.
