This is a review from THE DAISY HILL PUB........

The Beer Monkeys

(13/03/09) Another debut band at 'The Daisy' & they didn't
disappoint. This band cover 'rock' stuff from a broad spectrum, they
certainly make an effort, were good crack, had time for a music chat
beforehand, I like to check out the 'gear' of which they had mountains,
a decent sound, ++ lighting effects, play on music, good crack during
the gig, especially Sean the guitarist. He is the band 'funny man'
& had the audience's attention with his witty repetoire, his guitar
picking 'ain't bad either! Check out his manic-look photo in the gig
gallery. At one point I thought that Feed the Bear had wandered in,
with the singer running around in the audience!! (look out punters next
week, never take your eyes off him...!). The band brought a few punters
with them also, which is always good.There
were songs to suite most tastes & I particularly enjoyed the Uriah
Heep & Stereophonics numbers (my band has been rehearsing Dakota in
recent weeks). Other songs included Whisky in the Jar by Thin Lizzy, a
favourite of mine, plus songs by Bad Finger, The Calling, Spencer
Davis, U2, Tom Jones....come on the welsh! Mercy by Duffy was a
surprise choice, Rock'n'roll Star by Oasis, I Predict a Diet by Kaiser
Chiefs. The lights were good & certainly added to the show - the
band didn't forget to intro/thank their lighting guy either, which is
positive. Smaller
than usual crowd that we may put down to Comic Relief, Coronation St.
wedding, but more likely just 'the recession'! This didn't deter the
band though & they engaged well with the crowd.Anyway,
3 encores saw the band oblige with more songs until a finish at 11:30.
A good night, thanks 'Monkeys' we'll have you back....now what was that
about your fee being paid in 'beer'?
