GLASS SHARK

Taking their place on the corner stage at The Green Room, I imagine Glass Shark have rarely had to follow such a tough act and I have to admit I was glad not to be in their shoes. You`ve got to see this band right now! But fear not, yea of little faith, the mighty Shark is not afraid - they see a challenge to their role as protector of all that is good in music and they rise from the deep like a torpedo, breaking the surface with a healthy yell of triumph. You`ve got to see this band right now!

With the first beat of Tam`s drum, the duelling bass and guitar of Matt and Jimmy smacked into the room and they led Glass Shark and the audience into the wicked world of Disco Robots. You`ve got to see this band right now! Electronic beats mashed up with distorted guitar and a thumping rhythm section, created an electric atmosphere with sweat quickly falling from the brows of the dancing audience of students, stray punters and Friday night nutters. You`ve got to see this band right now!

Glass Shark presented a polished and powerful performance from a band at the top of their game to an audience that helped to put them there. You`ve got to see this band right now!

Understandably, Glass Shark have gained a great reputation; people who`ve never actually heard the band tell me they`ve heard how good they are and word is starting to get around. You`ve got to see this band right now! This is good news for people who speak and wot read wot uvvers ave writ, but to those that can `hear`, it is surely music to thine lug `oles!
