Christmas is almost upon us and the fat man in the red suit will soon be making his appearance! The Green Rooms celebrated their first Christmas with a Christmas party and although slightly marred by a missing band the night nevertheless was a good-un !
Up first were the grunge-tastic The Ruins of Us with guitarist Josh taking the lead vocals and doing a mighty fine job (good mince pie eating effort as well there Josh!) As well as being incredibly entertaining, it was a joy to have them at the Green Rooms and we’d like them back again soon. Check out the pictures below and their myspace (click here) is worth a look (and a listen) too!
Headlining the evening was the mighty-fine Eject Pilot Eject who’s mellow indie-rock tunes were enjoyed by everyone. A super talented band that could even get a crowd going in an old peoples home. Thoroughly enjoyed by all these guys need to be checked out – we’d have them back anytime! Check out www.ejectpiloteject.com or www.myspace.com/ejectpiloteject

An interesting night for a particularly awesome line up- but a gig on a Sunday did not stop High demand, Captain Fantastic and His Three Funky Beans and The Secret Enemy playing an awesome gig!
The Secret Enemy kicked off the evening with some high-energy, punk-tastic original tunes intermingled with some fantastic covers that got everyone up and ready for action. Finishing off their set with an explosive version of Bonnie Tylers ‘I need a Hero’ they are catchy, entertaining, confident and are due to be back on new Years Eve – we are looking forward to it! Check out their myspace here
Captain Fantastic and his Three Funky Beans were true to their name – fantastic! They are an amazing band to watch live, they are not only incredibly tight as a band, perform some fantastic songs, entertained the crowd with witty banter and are very obviously a mature band that has played well together for years – the band have an awesome rapport with each other that stems not only from three of them being brothers but also all four being good friends. They have an interesting range of material and getting their EP is a must! check them out here
High Demand ended the night with a bang – a band who although they are young have a lot of talent and should be looking forward to great things in the future if they keep going at this rate! They are not only making some really interesting music but are creating a name for themselves and gaining a strong band of followers. Footstomping catchyness, a mixture of heavy, mellow, pop and everything in between. Apparently they were minus a bassist – (we didn’t notice) the band were confident and talented enough to pull this gig off. Check them out here!

Although the line-up was one band short due to a last minute cancellation – it didn’t stop the night being a good one! Athena kicked off the night with some well put-together hardcore-deathcore. They were a tight band who play well together and entertained the crowd. Check out their myspace here
Levianth finished the night spectacularly- an amazing band that can not only play some really meaty metal but are really energetic on stage and are a fantastic band to watch live. Also a nice bunch of guys – we are looking forward to getting them back again at The Green Rooms! Check out their myspace here
Here’s some photos of the night!

A Fantastical evening with a great atmosphere provided by Blackwaters, JJ Richards & CC Blues and Billy Evans!
A night of many first for the guys in this line-up, JJ Richards and CC Blues suprised everyone with their identities – like some sort of super heroes, they stepped out of their roles in Blackwaters and transformed into the acoustic duo! It was also the first time that Blackwaters played a live set which suprised everyone as they were pretty amazing, even throwing a few medleys in for good measure! They certainly got the crowd singing, dancing and cheering for more!
Supporting these two great bands was Billy Evans – his electro-acoustic three-some got the crowd singing with some firm favorites, they were a really entertaining and a joy to watch!
We would love to have all of these three bands back in very near future (hopefully!) They also brought along a big, friendly crowd which in turn brought a lovely atmosphere to The Green Rooms!
Take a look at the photos of the night taken by Danica and Kaiya Collins, there will also be some video footage going up on our Youtube channel in the near future which was taken by our resident videographer – Danica. We’d also like to thank Kaiya, Connor and Dan for their amazing help and support over the night!

4th December saw the first of Rhys Waterworths ‘Just Mosh’ nights. With a firm, organised team behind him (you know who you are!) and a strong set, the gang kicked off a good night!
Your Local hero were first up and started the night well, they were talented, played their hearts out and have a really good demo (try and get hold of it … tis good!!!) we’d look forward to having them back at The Green Rooms, nice bunch of guys too!
Next up were the enigmatic Payton, rocky, drum and basey, dancey…definitely interesting and got the crowd moving. Look out for these guys they’re doing something different!
Third on the bill were Kid Keep Dancing. A really, really good band to watch with some seriously catchy tunes and a big following- again really nice guys…worth going to see them!
Headlining were Death Quit Dancing finishing off the night with their energetic pop punk.

Saturday 28th November saw the advent of what hopes to be a regular night organised by Rob and Jon (aka Pus). Pus started the night with their own kind of sludgy, grindy, guitar driven tortured tunes with a great reception from both the crowd and other bands. Pus rehearse regularly at the The Green Rooms and organised such a good night, hopefully it’s the first of many!
Atomck were amazing! Most noticable for their accuracy and precision in execution of some amazing songs, not only was their music as tight as a ducks ass, they were also amazing to watch – with the singer belting out some gutteral roars with a microphone wrapped around his neck – really has to be seen! check out their myspace here
Last but by no means least were the incredibly ear-bustingly loud Spider Kitten – I have honestly never heard anything so loud in my entire life! An amazing wall of sound was created by their wall of speakers, hard hitting drummer, riffing guitars and awesome vocals – not forgetting the guy with the laptop creating some intense, insane noises!! These are a really talented band who vary their genre depending on their line-up. They gave us a really entertaining night and were really nice guys! check out their myspace here
