Stone Gods – Live at Norwich Waterfront – 30/01/08
The extreme density of the crowd is no-doubt helped by a quarter of the audience being made up of friends and family of the band (guitarist Dan Hawkins’ mum alone has ‘plus sixteen’ on the guest list!), but the performance delivered more than warrants it.
On the whole, Stone Gods are a much ‘heavier’ proposition than their previous incarnation, delivering a 12 song set that hints at every rock sub-genre they can possibly think of, from classic metal, a bit of punkier stuff, and even what one gig-goer dubbed ‘theme tune from a crappy American teen drama’.
They may technically be a new band, but the stage-presence and musicianship of these guys is outstanding, with front man Richie Edwards clearly being born for the role.
Enjoy the pictures, and don’t forget to check out our exclusive interview with the band in Issue Ten of Disposable Media, due out any day now!
