Glitterati / Spit Like This, The Gaff 16/11/09
New venue for me, The Gaff, on Holloway Road. Got there about quarter to nine when support act Spit Like This were on. Besides the attractive female bassist, Vicki Spit (I doubt the surname is real), there wasn't a lot going on for them. Trying to be glamsters but without the tunes to back it up. They ended with a cover of Sweet Transvestite from the Rocky Horror Show which shows the direction they are heading. Did get a flyer after their show from the bass player as it would be rude to decline!
The Glitterati were playing as a warm-up for their tour with WASP. They announced that their second album would be released in the new year and played a similar set to when I saw them at the Purple Turtle two years ago. The only released songs they played was 'Back In Power' and 'Better Man' but the new stuff was recongnisable from when I last saw them and if the album does get released it should be good.
