Lock Up Your Daughters

As promised here is my opinion of last nights concert at the Cathouse in Glasgow.

First of all I shall start off with the venue. PersonallyI love the Cathouse, it has a relatively small stage but the performers can make do with it. The floor space is pretty good too with the option of a 'balcony' (2 steps leading off from the dance floor) and some leather seats. The interior of the cathouse is very... Black with chains hanging from various banners and metal cages enclosing some of the seating area. Think torched chamber style and you're in. But I still love the Cathouse due to all these things, and no, it's nothing to do with the fact that I have met the owner of the Cathouse twice and in both occasions he nearly crushed me to death with a bear hug.

The band in question was AB/CD who are an AC/DC tribute act, specifically a Bon Scott tribute act who tragically died in 1980 (R.I.P Bon). What was unusual this time however was that the band brought along a support act which I have never seen them do before. I know the singer is getting on a bit and this could possibly be the reason why to spare his voice, and his dodgy hip.

The support act was called Stuntman Mike and I don't usually like support acts but was pleasantly surprised. To me, they sounded just a step below how System of a Down sound. The instruments and music sounded quite heavy but when the singer started singing he sounded more like the guy from My Chemical Romance. I think they are promising and best of all, they're Scottish :D

But now for the main event, AB/CD. A usual the guys were on top form, however I thought that during one of the songs, it may have been Riff Raff the drummers beat started to get a little quicker than it should have but a quick glare from Angus sorted that out.

What I would say about this band though is they are a strictly Bon Scott tribute therefore they only play Bon Scott songs much to the disappointment of one fan in the audience who requested Thunderstruck which is a Brian Johnson song. Things you can expect to hear at this concert are songs such as Livewire, Riff Raff, Downpayment Blues, He'll Ain't a Bad Place To Be, Highway to Hell, Whole Lotta Rosie, It's a Long Way To The Top If You Wanna Rock And Roll, Let There Be Rock and Ride On.

More songs than that were played last night but I cant quite remember them.

Overall, I would certainly recommend paying them a visit next year at the Cathouse in Glasgow. The music is excellent and the singer certainly brings Bon Scott back to life once again.
