The Hot Rats - Leeds Cockpit, Monday October 12
Gaz Coombes and Danny Goffey playing some of their old favourite tunes as The Hot Rats. It's like a little party with your cool mates doing a turn on stage. A lovely eclectic selection played just for the fun of it. The presence of a frenetic Gail Porter, surrounded by scary men with shaved heads, giving it loads down the front, lends a slightly surreal touch to proceedings. As do the mannequins making up the numbers on stage. It's a real treat to be up close like this. It's what real music is all about. They're totally authentic and I love them for that.
