The Next Big Thing

(Brother) Wayne Kramer dropped into Edinburgh last night for a hastily arranged show at the last place on earth one would have expected. Said jams were well and truly kicked oot (as opposed to out) and he's packing one helluva combo. If it'd have been Glasgow it woulda been packed to the rafters I'm sure. Anyway, Mother Superior declined to come here and we got some proficient, angular, noisenik local pish to contend with which drove us outside for a while. By the time Wayne came on, everybody was in the market for some real rock action and that's what they bloomin' got. Starting with "Looking At You" he marked out the territory pretty good. The next couple hours was a rollercoaster of styles that trew up a real blend. Some of it veered close to being a Blue Oyster E-street Cult kinda deal and recalled our dear-departed friend David Roter so there's nowt wrong with that. One thing for sure, this guy has still got it and his axe-shredding will have you in raptures. Hopefully next time the fireworks will be on the ol' West Coast. That oughtta rule in some entertainment for the guys onstage too. But hey, he came and it's not often that Sunday night gets its butt kicked like this.
