The Casanova's, how in the hell have I not heard of them for 18 years?!!

I am very lax in blogging at the moment, partly because things are busy and partly because just when I want to say something frivolous or make a serious point, something awful happens, terrorists murder children or disasters leave a trail of death and destruction through peoples lives.

At somepoint I have to post something so I decided to share the gig I am going to, tomorrow night, with you. I haven't updated on gigs for a while. I saw Ryley Walker a few times, Kings X (Gods they are an amazing band and Anouska cried) and I took my Dad and a friend to see Airbourne.
Airbourne are honest to goodness AC/DC clones in so many ways but they are better live and it doesn't sound or feel contrived at all. It could be the smaller venues work for them but I love them. They are fresh, exciting and have dirt under their nails, just the way rock should be, straight down the line, no bullshit. So, when I saw Airbourne recommending another Aussie band, I had to check them out and boy, are they good. The Casanova's are playing a pub in Camden tomorrow night, "the Fiddler's Elbow", a venue that will hold around 150 people.
For those of you that have never experienced an Aussie band live or only AC/DC, AC/DC are the least good Aussie band I have ever seen and they are excellent live. Airbourne or Rose Tattoo top the tree but I have a feeling that the Casanova's might slay tomorrow night:

I can't believe that a band this good have been around since 1999, released 3 albums and I have only just heard about them, how in the hell did that happen? I can't remember the last time I booked tickets to see a band I knew nothing about. I have since bought their albums and they are more consistent than Airbourne, although the straight ahead goodness and dirt are all there, they seem to mine the Aussie rock seam and find some differences that set them apart, just a little, keeping the rock intact but adding some touches of the Stones in places with more than a touch of the Datsuns and Jet, no bad thing!

I will let you know all about it as I think I am in for a classic gig, a hole of a venue with a few of the great unwashed to witness our great religion shedding it's light in the darkest of places.

Praise be to Rock!

PS. Here is my Amazon review of the album "All Night Long"
