Whitley Lodge Snooker Club (a.k.a.: Snooks) isn't your typical gig venue, but who said that music was about conforming to the norm? Music is supposed to enable people to break free from the mundane routine and be united through glorious sound. Snooks has become a rite of passage for the youth of Whitley Bay, renowned for it electric atmosphere and voltaic performers.
This Saturday was certainly no exception. Starting the night off was a ballsy drum and guitar set from Callum Casey and David Thompson. The duo enthralled the crowd with vivacious drums and quirky guitar riffs that emanated technical flair, creating a gorgeously edgy sound.
Second up was the indie dream that is The Ely Guns. A gorgeous blend of lilting lyrics and upbeat guitar riffs that was sexed up by effervescent drums and rich bass lines. The band drew parallels with the likes of the Courteneers and The Pigeon Detectives and will undoubtedly thrive in the Newcastle indie scene.
Next was Northern Fire, who executed a wonderfully satiating rock set.The band were undeniably heavy and loud, but ensured that their sound was still clear and precise, concocting a vigorous dance vibe. The whole room was enamoured and thoroughly emancipated by Northern Fire's gritty sound.
Then the room exploded with the volatile math rock masters - the mongeese. The crowd were enraptured, totally bewitched by their fascinating and unique sound. The lads captivated the room causing everyone to indulge in wild, spirited dancing. All inhibitions were forgotten and the atmosphere was simply divine. The mongeese are a must see and could easily be the next big thing in the alternative music scene.
The final act of the night was local legends Glassvibe, showcasing their dynamic set with passion and vigour. The room was captured by their aggressive 'go getter' performance, uniting the crowd in untameable appreciation and dancing.Their performance was then heightened by guitarist/singer Callum Casey's departure from the band, amiably welcoming new singer Georgia Lee and guitarist Cameron Cutts to the stage. The duo brought a new dynamic to the band, keeping the beautiful vibe of the songs, whilst putting a bespoke edge to the number's. Lee's powerful and ardent vocals added depth and a symphonious charm to the songs. Casey will be missed, but his presence has been filled by more than capable candidates.
