Donovan Wolfington and Caddywhompus - Conroy's Basement, Dundee, 19/09/2016

Another Make-That-A-Take gig and my season ticket with them continuing to prove excellent value for money. If your in the Dundee area you really should consider dropping some of your crimbo cash on one so you don't have to think about door prices for any gigs through the year (not to mention the records and BYAF entry)
Missed the first two acts, A Hopeless Cause and Stonethrower, due to adult stuff like getting the kid to bed, doing dishes and walking the dogs.
Arrived in time to catch Caddywhompus, a two piece indie set up with some widdly guitar bits, quite enjoyable.

Donovan Wolfington were more straightforward indie rock and were pretty cool too.
I'm sure they had Ed Byrne playing the drums for them but I could be mistaken...

Off With Their Heads, Four Letter Word - Bannermans, Edinburgh, 05/March/09

Old blokes trip for this, Rodi, Johnny an Scott christening the inaugral intercity jaunt for the new silver machine. Much complaints about the no drinking rule in the new car.
Got to Bannermans later than expected while local punkers Down To Kill were on due to us thinking it was a different pub. Thanks to mobile technology we soon found where we were meant to be going. No thanks to half of Edinburgh being dug up though, it still took us about 20 minutes to go basically just round the corner a bit.
I was surprised Four Letter Word were still on the go actually, this Welsh lot have been around for a fair old while.Gutsy melodic punk rock with a politicized slant.

Off With Their Heads recorded output is a bit hit and miss for me, live however they were awesome, every song they played was a big grizzly power packed punky anthem. Would definetly go see them again.

Camera was being a pain during this gig, didn't seem to want to focus properly, figured it was just having a problem with the lights especially the blue which was pretty bright, but when I got home the poor thing had died. Gutting as it is an old kodak dx4330 that has a view finder and all cameras these days apart from the big mock SLRs seem to have LCD screens only which I hate, and you can't stick an SLR in your pocket. Anyway the in-laws have nicely given me their old one which is exactly the same, yay!

Grabbed a pizza after the show as well, was pretty yummy, but forgot to pick up a copy of Artcore at the merch table. Damn it.
