This again was a dappled quartet being made to tour the UK, with jock rocker Andrew WK being supported by hard working Welsh rockers LostProphets and US ‘saviours’ BRMC hurting the crowd prior to his own efforts. The perennial openers of the tour are The Coral. They seem to be some sort of UK North prog-indie combo who wear their guitars far too high up their bodies for it to be comfortable. An acoustic guitar came out and another drink was called for.
About 2/5 because they were a bit shitty.

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club – the new darlings of the media. They’re American, wear leather and play rock ‘n’ roll music, straight up. Indeed, the trio sound like a wondrous blend of Dandy Warhols using Nirvana’s riffs and my, my they cause a capturing performance to unfold before you. BRMC created these daintily pirouetting, bass heavy anthems to help you cry yourself to rapture. These songs will be the ones to send the shivers up your spine and back down through the floor as you lose your footing. Just as tonight’s real headliners will prove to.
About 4/5 because they actually are as good as they say.

LostProphets exploded. You can’t watch them before they go supernova because they’re already burning a hole in the universe with their churning swamp guitar thudding and bending your eyes toward the pseudo-American dressed Valley Boys. You can call them nu-metal; you can call them fvcking speed garage III for all I care because rarely can I be seen occupying a 2m square area all on my own in a packed venue all because nobody wants to go anywhere near my mindless & incoherent TM dancing. I don’t dance. Rarely can I be filled with such passion and vigour as I was on this fateful night when I saw what ‘British’ rock music is; and LostProphets clearly are what the rest of the world are seeing as British right now. As they embark upon the adventure of their lives – breaking the world. This is the band to do it. The power held within these six young men is unfathomable in terms of the ordinary man: onstage they are your deity.
About 328/5 because they rocked my arse harder than anyone has AR (After Reading).

Andrew WK is apparently the headliner on this tour. I left before the first song had ended. I can only hope he is the first American to be intentionally ironic. You conclude.
About -724/5 because he's some dirty redneck who injures people.

This would've been a 5/5 had it not been for the first and last bands...oh well.
