(If You Think) You're Groovy from the Small Faces Convention 2010 ...

Sunday 15th August ... Matt Henshaw and Chris Goring take to the stage again for the first time since December 2008 when they were in a little Nottingham band called Censored ... this time it's an all the more retrospective affair playing an acoustic and percussion set of Small Faces and Steve Marriott related songs ... the set went Black Coffee (originally written and recorded by Ike & Tina Turner subsequently covered by Steve Marriott as part of Humble Pie), (If You Think) You're Groovy (written by Marriott and Ronnie Lane for Immediate records label mate and former Ikette PP Arnold, who also did backing vocals on the Small Faces hit Tin Soldier), this was followed by a medley of songs that Marriott sang in various guises through the late 60s and early seventies (You Need Lovin' by Willie Dixon which formed the foundations of Led Zeppelin's monster anthem Whole Lotta Love, I Walk on Guilded Splinters from voodoo jazz folk rocker Dr. John from his eponymous album Gris Gris & The Night Tripper, later covered by Paul Weller joined on acoustic guitar by Noel Gallagher, For Your Love by the Yardbirds which at the time included Eric Clapton before they adopted Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page, and a sprinkling of Small Faces tune E Too D and the Spencer Davis Group's I'm A Man), the closing two numbers were My Way Of Giving and Afterglow (Of You Love) ... I understand that last paragraph is a bit of a muddle ... if you followed it, well done, if you didn't, just know this ... Christopher and I very much enjoyed the thrill of performing on stage together again in our glorious capital and it certainly won't be the last time we do so ... Footage from the 14th Annual Small Faces Convention presented by Wapping Wharf organised by John Hellier ... filmed from the side of the stage by sound and stage manager Andrew P Gilbert ... Many thanks to all who attended Islington, North London's Relentless Garage on that far from Lazy Sunday afternoon ... Torch Forever !!!

I'm kind of obsessed with this right now. His voice is ridiculous (and how he says "sweetheart") The head bobbing and profile peacocking are too much.

This video is absolutely precious. And by precious, I mean, the sexiness and adorableness factors are ridiculous. RIDICULOUS!

Live: VOIVOD + NASHVILLE PUSSY @ THE RELENTLESS GARAGE by Cristina Massei & John Morgan

London - 11th August 2010

The Relentless Garage opens his doors to a big enough crowd for this Wednesday’s event, a bit of an odd one really. Yankee rock’n’roll sleazers Nashville Pussy share the stage tonight with a bunch of old Canadians we haven’t see live for quite a while: experimental metal legend Voivod. All I can say is, if you don’t like it rough get back on the Tube now and go home.

‘Come on’ has the whole Garage dancing, ‘Late Great USA’ and ‘Struttin’ Cock’ bring out the hidden redneck in all of us… Oh yes, you too: we all have one somewhere, we all dream of rockin’ in a free world, and tonight we’ve got it; so shake it baby, ‘cause Nashville Pussy ain’t over yet! ‘I’m so high’ and ‘Bitch’ are my personal highlights, but from beginning to end these guys made me wanna buy a trailer and move to Shiny Pants (‘King Of The Hill’ anyone??).

Awesome. I start scanning the crowd as you do, soon realizing that, as it happens in these gigs, the lights reveal a Stephen King ‘Sometimes They Come Back’ scenario…  There are things in here tonight I really didn’t need to see, so I’ll be nice and spare you the details. Let’s fast forward straight to one of the most underrated metal bands: Voivod. Maybe is that Canadian syndrome that also stroke Anvil, only in this case it’s real injustice rather than just a sad movie.

Half of those at the Garage tonight don’t know much about Voivod, apart from maybe spotifying them before coming here.  The other half has been waiting far too long and starts calling out the band, visibly excited. Voivod are a band most people either love or hate, but for the expectant fans they really got a treat tonight.

With Blacky back in the fold on bass and Dan Mongrain coping with the virtually impossible task of replacing Piggy, Voivod take hold of the night and deliver a quality set of old and new. They have been away for a long time and seem intent on making sure their fans get what they came for.

A splattering of new tracks from the latest album “Infini” are moulded together with some genre defining classics to great effect. Snakes voice sounds as good as ever and with Away taking up his usual seat behind the drums, songs like ‘The Unknown Knows’, ‘Ripping Headaches’ and the anthem ‘Tribal Convictions’ have rarely sounded better.

There’s a touching moment remembering Piggy, with the crowd loudly chanting his name and the band dedicating Pink Floyd’s cover ‘Astronomy Domine’ to the much missed guitarist, and Nashville Pussy’s Ruyter joining Voivod on stage, excited like a 14 years old, for an explosive finale.

Weird like after Festivals and big kick ass shows, a comparatively small show at the good old Garage can still be so memorable…  Back on the truck now sug!
