Gig @ Drakes,
Southport
MANCHESTER based, SlavetoSound,
took over the top floor of Drakes in Southport, on Saturday, 20 June
2009, to put on a fantastic night of live music. Drakes, even though
it is small and hidden, has still managed to quickly gain a
reputation amongst live music fans for its high quality live music;
ranging from bands from the USA through to local bands from
Southport. On that Saturday, it was just what you have come to
expect from the venue, except organised by SlavetoSound. Taking to
the stage were The Smitten Ones, formerly Doal Drummer. This is an
alternative Indie Rock band, who delivered a very clean and lively
performance that energised what was a moderate turn out. Pencil In
is a Lancashire based alternative band. Their frontman, Bill Orrick,
is a well known veteran on the Preston music scene, so it was of no
surprise they put on a very highly polished show. The only odd thing
on the night that was unexpected was getting a chocolate flavoured
condom in a goody bag of sorts. Sadly, the Wigan based band Smudge
did not perform, but it was of no consequence as with the saying, it
is not quantity, it is quality that counts. That quality shone out,
thanks to the professionalism of both the The Smitten Ones and the
Pencil In. I truly look forward to seeing what SlavetoSound conceive
for the next visit to Drakes.
