The Water Rats was full on. Great venue and SMASH at their storming best.

Still got a few bruises from the bundling although I managed to avoid feeling the full weight of Monkey Bob.

Good to see old and new faces getting a SMASH high.

The next gig is not until 23 July as far as I can see. Are we really going to have to wait that long?!

What about a set at the WGC festival at Stanbourough park or maybe Hitchin festival?

Sid Slayer you may have not broken even but you set up a great evening for everyone there.

See you all soon,
El Vino

Nice one Sid! You're right, the B*O*Y*S are sounding better & better & the new songs are fantastic! 'All By Myself' going down particularly well last night. Shame (shame shame shame) they didn't do 'Into You' as I think that is their best new song! It was good to have a little jump around with the old crowd!

BANDS:

S*M*A*S*H they are back! It has been nearly eight years since they last headlined in central London.

Over a decade ago-Ed, Salv and Rob from Welwyn Garden City hit the UK music scene. Although existing for well over a year and creating a word of mouth loyal London fan base before the NME created the scene New Wave Of The New Wave and S*M*A*S*H were apparently leaders-whether they liked it or not. Which lead to the NME loving them; the then Melody Maker trying to destroy them.

Soon they signed to Virgin/Hut records. Lots of awesome live shows-gigs that are still legendary. "The English MC5," roared the NME.

Recorded one album-'Self Abused'-which should be seen as a great long lost classic debut album. Around 1996 the band (never officially split up) went 'tits up' due mainly to in band personal reasons.

They are back and being brilliant live and having fun again-just like it was if not even better back in the day. New single has been recorded and should in all good record shops soon.
