The Bermudez boys had once again fallen afoul of visa issues just ahead of the first part of the Promise & Terror world tour.
From what I remember, the band wanted to start the tour with a performance at the Glasgow Rock Radio Birthday Party which was coming up fast.
The visas were due to be ready after Glasgow - but before the tour, so myself and Luke Appleton were asked to come back on guitar and bass duties respectively.
We had all played together at the show in Birmingham NEC with SAXON just a few months earlier, so it wasn't such a stretch to get together for the Glasgow show at short notice.
Once again - Paul & Jan's place was the place where we met to get the set down a couple of days early, and then we were Scotland bound for the show.
The setlist:
The Man Who Would Not Die
Smile Back At Death
The Launch
Futureal
Watching The Night Sky
Kill And Destroy
The Clansman
Man On The Edge
Voices From The Past
Robot
A short, fast set from start to finish, but one that was going to deliver broken necks and big hangovers!
There was a big party after the show, which went on until the wee small hours.
Something that was evident to me the next day when I couldn't actually get into the vehicle to come home, due to some heavy duty party-induced throwing-up right outside the hotel.
Sorry folks!
Here's some footage from the set.
The party sold out the Glasgow Garage, and the place was truly banging from start to finish.
Chicago superstars MADINA LAKE were headlining the show, and they were nice guys to get along with.
I'm way too old to be hip, but they did an absolutely killer job at firing the place up.
As wickedly tight as hell, and with more energy than I've seen live in a very long time.
A good way to spend a Friday night!
