Damo And The Dynamites

Boy do these guys know how to rock a joint. Rockabilly trio Damo and the Dynamites pump out rock 'n roll classics in quick succession and not surprisingly dancers found them irresistible. The band have been together for about seven years and they know their craft providing a night of infectious dynamic rock 'n roll and rockabilly. Front man is Damon Everett, the Damo of the title, who sings, plays lead guitar and offers some great guitar licks. It's great to see a real upright double bass player in the band. He is Jack Nicole and he is highly skilled on that instrument and the more regular bass. Jack also does the backing vocals. Completing the line-up, on the skins, is the highly talented Roy Challis who drums up a storm behind the two front guys. Elvis Presley's Don't Be Cruel started off the first of their three rip-roaring sets at the Royal British Legion in East Barnet. It was followed by a bunch of top rock 'n roll classics such as Chuck Berry's infectious Nadine; Johnny Kidd and the Pirates early British gem Please Don't Touch; Elvis' rockabilly number Baby Let's Play House; Buddy Holly's jive anthems Rave On and That'll Be The Day and Bill Haley and the Comets' worldwide hit Shake Rattle And Roll. Damon is a charismatic front man but the songs really speak for themselves. Set two featured more classics -- Rock Around The Clock, Green Door, Carl Perkins' foot-tapping Bopping The Blues and Eddie Cochran's Jeanie Jeanie Jeanie. It's impressive too that Damo and the Dynamites are confident enough to feature some of their own compositions during their live shows. Rockabilly songs like Cut Me Some Slack blend in nicely with the more familiar material. Set three was just as enjoyable and the trio managed to get the dancefloor packed with numbers like the Stray Cats' Rock This Town; Shakin' Stevens Marie Marie and the Elvis threesome Mean Woman Blues, Blue Suede Shoes and Jailhouse Rock. Damo and the Dynamites provide a fabulous night of rock 'n roll and rockabilly -- and they work really hard for their money. A total of 42 songs during the three sets.
