MYSTERY ACTION - BLUE CARPET BAND
Donkeym Venue April 21st 2023
I had no idea quite what to expect from the night... had heard very positive reviews of both bands... but hadn't heard either.. and i was blown away by it!!
First up was Blink's own band, Mystery Action... a hugely theatrical unclassifiable rock'n'roll band who delivered a real show... the band was tight, creative and simply wonderful!!
Then with little ado onto the The Blue Carpet Band... they had sounded great on soundcheck but forget that... once they kicked into the set they were simply phenomenal... high energy, high pace loud'n'proud rock'n'roll to shake the rafters. Musical spot on they rocked through a series of shortish sharp songs and the pace and energy never relented... vocalist Djamel Abina simply defied all natural laws by leaping, dancing and bouncing for the entire performance while managing to sing with power and authority without seemingly having any breath issues!!... to crown it after the band left the stage he carried on and delivered two jazz standards acapella... and delivered them incredibly well....
THis was a glorious evening, two really great bands delivering high octane rock'n'roll... and there is no better way to take in your R'R than in a terrific small venue like this...
Loved the evening!!
Keep music live... keep music real... support your local venue
