Night Of Treason + Slippery Jack - Messclean @ The Frog On The Front, Portsmouth. 06/01/06.

Now, I'm happy to admit that I'm not a big fan of covers bands and would rather see some fresh original talent but as I have become part of the furniture down at Messclean I feel it's only fair to pass the odd comment on the night. Slippery Jack take all the usual tunes such as Paint It Black, Stepping Stone, That's Entertainment etc and do some decent versions, they are good muscians and it's quite enjoyable in that not having to really pay attention kind of way.

Night Of Treason have agreed to do two sets tonight as one band dropped out so all credit to them as they dive into the likes of New Rose and Pretty Vacant. They play each song with gusto and a love for the material they are covering despite a sluggish post xmas/new year audience small in number. They do well by covering some of the more obscure material and one can't slam them for their enthusiasm and commitment, once again a very competent band doing decent covers.
