Ray Morrissey, caught the band at Under The Bridge, Fulham Road, London, 15th August:
"A rare chance to see this great collection of musicians (not forgetting Stereophonics producer Jim Lowe on bass). The 75 minute set featured a mixture of new tracks written by Glen and classic covers. The band looked super cool on stage and Glen does a great job of getting the crowd to sing along. The sound has a rock ‘n’ roll rockabilly feel mainly due to Slim Jim's stand up drumming beat.
Setlist: Happy (Pharrell Williams) / Blank Generation (Richard Hell And The Voidoids) / Action Stations / God Save The Queen / Live Wire / Speak Too Soon / Sexy Beast / Chill / Dead End Street (Kinks) / Yes Siree / John I'm Only Dancing (guest Reeves Gabrels on guitar) / Rock This Town (Slim Jim Phantom on vocals) / Pretty Vacant.
