On last nights showing at King Tuts in Glasgow those
Detroit Cobras did little to rise above being a bar band with an eye for superior covers. Dunno what was wrong but it seemed like Rachel Nagy couldn't really be arsed. It just never ignited, y'know. I mean they're "good", but maybe our expectations, in this event, were too high. The Sonic Reducer Tag Team set the mood nicely like a two headed Andy Dunkley and the woeful opening act tried their damndest to tear that down. The SRTT was the reigning sound though for sure. Hopefully it was just an off night for The Cobras then...

Hi,
Despite I never the Detroit Cobras live, I have the same feeling about a little "missing spark / ignition", they don't get me high, except for a few songs : "Cha Cha Dance", that Mickey Lee Lane song that I don't remember the title, ...
But a friend of mine, who got good taste :) saw them in Paris last week (the opening act was Electrocute) and he really enjoyed.
