Band:
Automatic Venue:
Trillians Rock Bar, Newcastle upon Tyne, UK Date: 8 December 2000
If you ever get the chance to see these guys in action then by all means
go!!!
Once again they played
to yet another packed out bar. It must have been about 9.50 pm by the time
they finally hit the stage, a little later than the advertised 9.30 slot,
but who cares.
Once on stage they were all systems go right from the start. The crowd
included many of their fans who have followed their progress faithfully,
and why not when they give you such a good time. It's rare these days that
you get to see a band that give so much in their gigs for free, but this
is one that always delivers as promised.
The songs are musically tight and the chorus's addictive. The only
complaints are that they never take the time to introduce themselves to
the crowd and they never seem to have any cd's or tapes on sale, such a
shame as they would sell like hot cakes.
Automatic are a feel good band, you go to enjoy yourself and that's just
what you end up doing. Even the band members look like they are having a
party by just being on stage. Will they progress past the bar gigs and get
any further? Do they want to make it to the big time or are they just
having a hell of a lot of fun playing those tunes we love so much?
Who knows, but ones things for sure, with songs that catchy it would be a
shame to let them go to waste and not let the public at large in on this
little gem of a band.
Come
on lads do us proud and let us all share in on your music.
