Review - Do$ch - The Barge, Brighouse. April 28th.
From the very first drumbeat and chord, you knew you were going to enjoy this band - because of the style and quality of the Dr Feelgood influenced music and the fact that the band members enjoy it too. If you haven't seen Do$ch before then you're in for a treat. They usually start a tad earlier than most of today's performers and manage to squeeze in three sets....with very short breaks in between - excellent! The music is mainly self penned - crisp, blusey numbers that tell of a miss spent youth, with motor bikes, ladies and members of the legal profession featuring heavily. Do$ch also feature a few classic tracks from the likes of Rufus Thomas and Sonny Boy Williamson as well as one or two of Wilko's. Oh! and Do$ch do do sentiment - with just the one tear jerker - boo hoo! If you enjoy the edgy (nothing to do with U2) sound of a great crunchy guitar in front of a pacey but well disciplined rhythm section, some well delivered and amusing lyrics performed by an unassuming but talented quartet...then don't miss the next Do$ch gig - you WILL enjoy it! Brian Holliday.
