Well what a long hot sweaty summer its been
– must be all that global warming ozone stuff, but there’s no time for
Bleeding Hearts to stop and soak up the summer sun. There’s work to be done,
festivals and gigs to be played!
One of the hottest, most sweatiest gigs for the hearts this summer was when they supported the Damned at the Stourbridge Rock Café. We were all looking forward to this gig as we were told it had sold out weeks before. The Hearts have played the Rock Café a number of times but this is the first time we’d ever seen crowd barriers erected at the front of the stage! Most of the audience had never seen Bleeding hearts before and our boys only had 35 minutes to prove themselves, so it was a case of punk power, no messin, and not an acoustic guitar in sight for this gig. As usual for a support slot, there’s little to no sound check, but this doesn’t fluster our boys, just plug-in , turn up to 10 and play! Except Steve, whose custom amp goes up to 11. That’s one more louder innit?! Like a well-oiled military war-machine Bleeding Hearts went in fast with Democracy, hit ‘em hard with Third Eye, and at the end of the set left the audiences ears bleeding with Blank Country Bomb! (er, ed! Do you think all that war stuff on the Telly might have had some sort of sub-conscious effect on you?). The evening was a fantastic success for both the Damned and the Bleeding Hearts, the Rock Café was hot, the Bands were hotter, and the crowd sweating more than a turkey that had just realised Christmas was just 3 months away. |
Keep an eye on Hearts website, talks are already
in progress for another Damned support for the Rock Café in March 2004!
