Balls Deep / Terry Trillion & The Millionaires / Isolace Live @ The Marrs Bar (Worcester) 3/8/07 NJS+	Permalink

Balls Deep / Terry Trillion & The Millionaires / IsolaceLive @ The Marrs Bar (Pierpoint Street, Worcester)Tonights gig was a bit of a mixed bag starting off with the awesome Isolace who are a really good 6 piece band, with a lead singer that not only knows now to sing but knows how to lead. This Redditch/Birmingham band has a gothic / Scandavian metal/rock influence and pull it off superbly. When we entered the room I felt as though I was being transported back to a HIM gig. Singer Ric definitely has the same stage presence. With songs like Inhaste and Re-Define, I expect great things of them. Unquestionably a band to watch out for. Terry Trillion & The Millionaires are, for want of a better word, a local rockabilly super group. With many, many bands worth of experience between them perform as if their life depended on putting on a enjoyable and fun show. The entire band seems to enjoy what they're doing and it shows in their high energy, party like antics on the stage.Kicking off their set with their version of Primal Screams Get Your Rocks Off with the entire crowd singing along to the upbeat and tightly shambolic chorus this band had the crowd in the palm of their hands from the word go. In Terry Trillion they have a great singer and great focal point for the band but the entire band put something into the mix, not least Gary Millionaire, picking up and swirling his double bass around the stage. This guy is the epitome of cool. Shark Van Schtoop is lethargic in comparison. Scott Millionaire is an amazing guitarist, effortlessly keeping the sound going, inserting his licks wherever he can and basically being the backbone of the band. Adding a bit of flourish and bluesiness to the sound is Luke, harp player extraordinaire. With Jim Millionaire on washboard and occasional lead vocals and Jamie Millionaire pounding on the drums they have the appearance and essence of a perfect line up This six piece band are a wonderful band to watch and equally as good to hear. Their set includes rockabilly swing versions of Michael Jacksons Black or White, The Ruts' Babylons Burning as well as a couple of their own tracks such as the awesome Beer Oclock Boogie. Each track giving the audience another reason to jump around and dance live a loon. Check out this bad now, you will not be disappointed, honest. Headline band tonight were Balls Deep, a Worcester/Malvern based band who, along with their false wigs (I assume they were false) and crazy outfits, played tribute to all that 1970s and 1980s rock. Beginning heir set with Bon Jovis Runaway, the hits kept coming. If it was a singalong 80s rock song, this band probably played it. Highway To Hell (AC/DC), Alright Now (Free), Here We Go Again (Whitesnake), Whiskey In The Jar (Thin Lizzy) and You Give Love a Bad Name (Bon Jovi to name but a few. The highlight of the set for me personally was an amazing version of Guns n Roses Dont Cry. These guys are great musicians, great performers and terrific entertainers. If you fancy a night out with a touch of classic seventies and eighties sing-along rock, this is band for you. www.myspace.com/is0lace www.myspace.com/terrytrillionandthemillionaires www.myspace.com/ballsdeep1981 Review by Sarah B and Chris B __________________
