A rockin` good night
Finally managed to catch 5th Element live , last night at the Fox n Goose .
I spend most of my time ferrying our lads around , so dont get to see too many covers bands .
I wasnt sure what to expect , especially with only a small crowd in early on in the evening . These guys obviousely know the score , though , and by the time they took to the stage at around 10.45 , the place was filling up nicely .
Straight away they had the place bouncing with their Cult , Ac/dc , and ZZtop covers . The band has real energy , and enthusiasm and soon got the crowd joining in and making loads of noise . It was great to see vocalist Ann belting out each song with great energy - and really giving it everything . I like the fact that theyre a five peice . You cant beat the fuller two guitar sound ,and love to see a frontman/woman "owning" the stage without the restrictions of other duties ...
Things really took off in the 2nd half , and the more up to date stuff such as Nirvana , Blink 182 and Muse seemed to go down particulaly well , as did the antics of wandering guitarist , Neil .
The band finished with a well deserved encore of Rebel Yell to round off a fantastic show ... All in all a great night out - If you havent seen them yet , I can honestly reccommend them ..
