TornadoShaunUK Posted 18 November 2005 Posted 18 November 2005 I'm getting my own band up and going soon. Was anyone at the Musician for the city acoustic club on Monday night? I was there with my singer and we covered acoustic versions of 'Stick To Your Guns' and 'Blood On Blood' by Bon Jovi. We'll be there hopefully next monday aswell doing acoustic versions of two of our own original songs. Come along and check us out

We'll be there hopefully next monday aswell doing acoustic versions of two of our own original songs. Come along and check us out Blood on Blood is a quality track. Seen a Bon Jovi tribute band up at Beavers bar in Hinckey once and they were quality and done that as part of their set.
TornadoShaunUK Posted 19 November 2005 Posted 19 November 2005 Blood on Blood is a quality track. Seen a Bon Jovi tribute band up at Beavers bar in Hinckey once and they were quality and done that as part of their set. definately is, we performed it as one big harmony pretty much as we both sang it all the way through. What I plan on doing mainly is originals but to start with you need to be doing atleasta few covers here and there. I'd definately do either of those two songs again as they seemed to go down well. I do think blood on blood sounds better acoustically than electrically though. I would re-do it next week if theyd let us do 3 but we really wanna do two originals next time.

There used to be a band called "the wrinkly pink catsuits" (spycadellic punk), cor about 10 years ago doing pubs like the pump and tap and charlotte i think. They were brilliant, particuly the singer.
Deathside Posted 22 November 2005 Posted 22 November 2005 My Awesome Compilation were on Kerrang! or Scuzz last night Mrs Deathside has photographed a local band a few times - They are called Ictus and are a bit too greenday for me
stez Posted 22 November 2005 Posted 22 November 2005 crazyhead were alway my favourite leicester bands. and looking on the link i was reminded of diesel park west who looked nothing like that when i went to see them! i also quite like a band called perfume who 'almost made it' they had a single out. my mate played bass for a short while and the singer used to go to the fan club, but was a complete nobber i aolso rememeber a band called pison broke, who i saw at the magazine a time or two, but i don't know if the were a leicester band or not.
lcfcsoul66 Posted 22 November 2005 Posted 22 November 2005 Only one band worth seeing in Leicester and thats the Splitters. If these boys don't make you wanna dance you've got a hole in your Soul! Splitters
Libertine Posted 22 November 2005 Posted 22 November 2005 My Awesome Compilation were on Kerrang! or Scuzz last night I saw them too. I think it was Kerrang. They were quite good.
Chairman of the Bored Posted 17 February 2006 Posted 17 February 2006 Pacfic Ocean Fire Diesel Park West Family Streetwalkers Cornershop (sort of) The Disco Zombies Matt Emulsion and the Undercoats
Head Honcho Posted 17 February 2006 Posted 17 February 2006 Diesel Park West used to be called The Filberts and mention The Foxes and other little hints about Leicester City in some of their album tracks Great Band!

Benji Posted 18 February 2006 Posted 18 February 2006 I was going to say my awsome compilation To be fair i think Mr C or someone else on here brought them to my attention a year or so ago on here, using purevolume probably
Cat Burger Posted 18 February 2006 Posted 18 February 2006 I saw computerman last night, they were alright. My mate threw his shoes on stage in enjoyment.
Finnegan Posted 19 February 2006 Posted 19 February 2006 One of the Ictus lads went to Rothley Primary School. \o/ I don't actually like their music, but I was at college with them in Longslade and everybody totally bummed the fock out of them. Bit 'poppy' but they've got an album out you can actually buy on Amazon, I think. Not bad for their age. Edit: Ps, no mention for the Mack?
hairy Posted 20 February 2006 Posted 20 February 2006 MC Pitman is good, from Coalville I believe. But the best band to come out Leicester was Gaye Bykers On Acid.
adam Posted 20 February 2006 Posted 20 February 2006 I saw computerman last night, they were alright. My mate threw his shoes on stage in enjoyment. Yeah these are gonna be a big(ish) band in a few years. Think ive seen them bout 6 times now. Always sounding better. No more broken hearts
Sparky Posted 27 February 2006 Posted 27 February 2006 2 of my mates started a band about a year ago called MANULEON , they play the charlotte tomorrow night
Jimmy2Drags Posted 9 June 2006 Posted 9 June 2006 Well theres showadywady, but i dont rate them.

They were brilliant, particuly the singer. Bleedin Great band. Mad Rob is a Freaking Genius. he was in a band after called the kids aswell. they were pretty good but not a patch on the wrinklys. gonna root through old cd's now and find it out. nice one.
Ultra Posted 9 June 2006 Posted 9 June 2006 Apart from the bands already mentioned, Yeah Yeah Noh and Ska-Boom were pretty decent..
