The Casanova's...an intensity and groove that was infectious.

OK, so let's look at the pro's and cons of the gig last night. Cons, the turn out was rubbish, the food from the takeaway round the corner wasn't particularly good and the journey home was a nightmare due to a fire near the station somewhere South of Watford and as a result, I was stuck there till 3 and didn't get home till around 4 this morning, and my ears are still ringing.

Pro's? Omyfuggingod they were awesome. They had an intensity and groove that was infectious. They weren't running around like Airbourne, they just grooved off each other, something that only a 3 piece can do and it was contagious, I started smiling from the opening riff of "Born to Run"to the finishing notes. Highlights? There were too many but at a push, I really loved "He's Alive".

I would love to have taken all my friends to see them but it clashed with a Gary Numan gig they'd already booked. Do you know what? Their loss, I've seen Gary Numan before and enjoyed him but the |Casanova's would have eaten him for breakfast, this is honest rock 'n' roll, 3 guys turning up on a blowy Thursday night and making a pubful of friends, the banter was minimal but the rock was full on, they jammed, things had a slight psychedelic vibe in places, a big touch of blues that gave more than a nod to AC/DC and ZZ Top and a soupçon of Southern feeling going on somewhere. They seem to bring a whole melting pot of influences and create music that has a 70's feel, ripped up blues and feel good rock with a healthy does of attitude. Even the look of the band has that 70's feel, from the porno 'tache of Damo on bass and vocals and the 70's free spirit surfer look of Tommy on guitar and vocals.
We are now on Monday and I never got round to posting this but here we go and I will try and reduce the size of the videos I took and see if I can upload them as well. Even half a week later, I am blown away by them and in between watching the boxing and watching poor GGG getting robbed of his victory by what can only be either a blind judge or blatant corruption (whinge done), I have been listening to the Casanova;s constantly. Here is a chilled rock vibe so you can see how it can be done and please, the next time they play, do yourself a favour and go and see them:
