Switch Dolls first gig featuring Tamasin!

Jul 19, 2006 18:39

Team Extreme Team took eighties cock-rock (think Van Halen, Motley Crue, etc.) to the EXTREME! This in itself was highly amusing, interspersed with such comic rock phrases as "What time is it? ...it's time to rock!!!", but (surprisingly) they were also EXTREMELY talented on their instruments as well. Both guitarists pulling off many impressive solos effortlessly. The Seinfeldish sounding bass going well too. Three out of four members having the '80s rock look going as well with the drummer looking like Axl Rose, one of the singers/guitarists sporting the typical blow-dried long blonde hair and the bass player resembling the dark haired variety with no sleeves and fingerless gloves.

Although Switch Dolls propelled into their set with an unsteady start, they were soon rocking at full throttle. The new keyboards and backing vocals provided by Tamasin added elements previously lacking in Switch Dolls previous live performances. Drummer, Ron, utilised electronic drum pads at certain points during some songs to great effect. The set was short and sweet (much like lead singer Emmie herself!) and was magnificently finished it with the song "12", which i personally think is their strongest and best song (and also happens to be the leading track on their EP, Define This, which you should go buy off them if you haven't already).set list:
GIRL
TELEPHONE
PUSH IT
GIVE IT TO ME
WHERE I GO
TONIGHT
DON'T SAY
12

The Jefferson seemed kind of sleepy, dreamy to me. Actually i can't remember them very much but they seemed OK.
