Really enjoyed Dante Fox tonight, probably the best i've ever seen them! They had gone for a heavier clutch of their catalogue in preperation for Hard Rock Hell on Friday. Sue was on fire bar a few very minor boo boo's in the first song! One thing i've been told about the Fox's recent live shows by a few people has been they seem wooden and nervous on stage, especially Sue..... errr....that wasn't the band that turned up tonight, they seemed so relaxed and seemed to really enjoy their time on stage. Sue was charming and funny and i've never seen her so at ease on stage, i have a lot of respect for Sue cause she suffers terribly with pre-gig nerves so everytime i see her perfrom almost flawlessly time after time it takes some really strength! I can not expalin how great it is to finally hear my favourite Fox song 'I Can't Sleep' Live - Sue just absolutley shone singing this one. Newbie 'Who Stole The Innocence' and 'Firing My Heart' were two other big highlights for me. They only played for half hour, but it was all top qaulity stuff and i could have easily watched the band for the rest of the night! Great to have the Fox back in the Black Country! Hope it's not so long before the next time! If you're going to HRH this Friday, do yourself a favour and makes sure you don't miss their set!

The sound at the Slade Rooms is sometimes not great and i have said this too people before, but in comparison to a lot of small venues i've been to it's head and shoulders above them.....soundwise FM would have been better off at The Robin IMO, but still great they are coming to the area so i ain't complaining!

Also with the loss of JB's having a venue like the Slade Rooms to fill the gap is great for the local music scene....

Nice venue, the PA is a little fuzzy at the top of the mix (maybe they were trying to pump too much bottom end through it ?), but it fills the room nicely. Easy to get to for parking & trains]]> Chazz NoticeboardFri, 30 Nov 2012 01:29:14 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,921076,921116#msg-921116 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,921076,921116#msg-921116
The Slade Rooms is a decent small capacity venue - it can be re-aranged to acomadate crowds of 300 to 500. It ain't no Robin like, but for a small capacity venue it's pretty damn good.....

I've never been to the Slade Rooms...any good as a venue?]]> MetroGnome NoticeboardThu, 29 Nov 2012 22:48:31 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,921076,921097#msg-921097 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,921076,921097#msg-921097
Must also give Liberty Lies a big shout - the openers have recently toured with Shinedown and are as tight as a gnat's chuff. Youngsters still to write their best stand out sing-a-long, they can certainly play and put on a show.

Electric Boys were the ultimate groove machine. Laid back riffs, some stunning leads and its awesome when a band plays around with the dynamics like this, taking the audience along with them.

A real mix of 3 rock styles on the night, but all really excellent and somehow complimented each other so well.]]> Chazz NoticeboardThu, 29 Nov 2012 20:39:13 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,921076,921076#msg-921076 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,921076,921076#msg-921076
