Dan Sartain, Plate Six at London 100 Club, Wed 07 Feb

Review by Mike Diver

He’s a jawbone to admire, a slender frame that many a mid-twenties man would kill for; his songs bleed upwards from his heart while his fingers bleed in accordance with gravity from all the pluck-strum-jerk actions at his wrist. Dan Sartain ain’t your average rocker rolling with the trends of the money-making. Dan Sartain ain’t your average anything...»

100 Club

Capacity: 300

Train: Charing Cross (15 mins) Euston (17 mins)

Tube: Tottenham Court Rd (3 mins)

The venue is legendary due to the connections with early punk gigs. The Sex Pistols played here, don't you know. *yawn*

If you're in a band then don't ever phone them and ask for a gig, cos you'll get your head ripped off. They get hundreds of calls a week. If you want a gig here, you'll need the hire the place or latch onto somebody else hiring it.

Not much happens in the way of rock gigs. Is mainly blues and and jazz and stuff.

The is a great big pillar in the middle-front of the stage. Odd.

Nice little basement venue though.

Plate Six

Plate Six are a trio from Birmingham, Alabama. You might want to call 'em by their names, which are David Hickox (vocals, guitar), Darryl Jacks (guitar) and Brad Davis (drums).

Hickox is also the bass player in Dan Sartain's band. Click here for Dan's profile.

Plate Six formed in 1999 and went through a number of bass players before deciding they were better off without one.

THIS is Plate Six's website, and THIS is their MySpace page.
