Cactus Club - El Grotto - NoR Rock

Jreamin, seen em finally. Guitar sings! Happy mcalex. Lead guitar, vox on rhythm, bass n drums. Classic formula done well. Will see again. Caught a couple 'insta' sized vids but wasn't in a position to get a full song.

Second in the bill were Running Out of Nuns - absolutely love the name, didn't think to quiz one of the guys on its background. Trio playing fast surf rock with enough guitar to keep me happy. Covered 'Backstreet's Back's - I shit you not - but rocked it enough to make it listenable, even if you were giggling the whole time 😁. Had a 'work from home' song with some very NSFW lyrics. I caught video of a song about a kraken encounter on the high seas which isn't on their bandcamp - good till a flash goes off near the end. Yeah, will see again.

Rounding out the night were north of the river darlings: Shorehaven. Four piece with chick covering lead and backing vox depending on the song, lead vox also shared by lead guitar, plus decent bass and drums. OMG they write dirty songs and dress them up in light poppy clothing! Afternoon delight anybody? Very well known by the crowd, almost to feeling like it was a Scarborough (/Wanneroo/Joondalup?) High School reunion party. Good fun music, if a bit light for my tastes. Would see again in a lineup. Caught Tangelo, and half of a couple other songs, but my positioning wasn't the greatest.
