WTF?! XD

First gig in bloody ages saw me at the newly reopened Rockhouse in Derby. I was there to see The Pigeon Detectives. And they ,surprisingly ,were really good. Surprisingly i hear you say ...well yes, i think you don't realise how many good tunes they have. It was very enjoyable and they banged the tunes out the crowd were up for it and the place held the sound really well.

They've got some really good bands coming in the next few months with the likes of Bristish Sea Power, The Dykeenies, and The Datsuns with a few tribute bands too include a Smiths and Stone roses act.
Finally Derby has somewhere that may rival the Rescue Rooms at Nottingham.
