DIRTY TRICKS - Marquee
After some months in the wilderness it seems to be coming good at last for Dirty Tricks. And though I can´t see them hitting the top league for a while they have enough going for them now to build a largish following round the country.
John Fraser-Binnie though has certainly got the guitar hero mannerism down to a tee. On his solos, he strides aggresively across the stage, mouth wide open, face contored in a tortured expression of pain, sending riff after riff exploding from the speakers, which was probably the main cause of the dangerous outbreak of headshaking amongst an uncomfortably tightly packed audience.
