Better than the real thing...........

The Kidda Band & The Radio Stars

Aston University -  16 March 1979

 Another one of those gigs where the support band were far better than the main band. The Kidda Band were truly excellent, playing rock very much a la Robinson and Petty. They were tight, clear and not too loud.

 And now - the Radio Stars. Well what can I say – too loud, every track sounding the same, a pseudo Rod Stewart lead singer, even “Dirty Pictures”, a track I particularly like on vinyl, was an absolute mess.

 I certainly encourage you to see the Kidda Band at the earliest opportunity but the Radio Stars, just avoid them like the plague.
