At The Standard Music Venue in Londons East End,the band bring the Bitter and Twisted tour to an end. Bernie Torme,John McCoy and Robin Guy play rock & roll how it should be played: loud,brash,filthy and sweaty.

The band kick off with Wild West from Bernie's Electric Gypsies album,followed by Bullet in the Brain a new track from a forthcoming album due out early next year.

Songs from the Bitter and Twisted album come next, and by the time they reach Can't Beat Rock & Roll and the wonderful Rocky Road you realise you are watching a very special band.

Most drum solos normally send everyone rushing to the bar, or outside for a quick fag break, but when Robin Guy kicks into his the opposite happens: everyone is held spellbound as Robin showcases his unique talent. Surely there can't be many better drummers around at the moment.

John McCoy's mammoth bass, smoke bellowing from the neck makes an appearance for Gillan's New Orleans, Smoke on the Water and Hendrix's Fire bring an exciting night of Rock & Roll to an end.

So with a new album and tour to follow next year,do yourself a favour and go and see this band!
