Friday March 17th 2006 - Touch 2 Much

Bellhouse seems to always be full of fans wearing their AC/DC shirts and shouting out for Angus. After the spectacular performance Touch 2 Much gave on Friday, I think we'll be seeing quite a few more!

A whole night of no-nonsense AC/DC hits from a great band recreating their unique sound perfectly. They opened the first spot with 'Livewire' followed by 'Shot Down In Flames' and 'If You Want Blood'. The lead singer's volume was a little quiet during these tracks but nevertheless the band sounded really good and played great.

Audience participation kicked in when they played 'The Jack'. The whole club were singing out 'She's got the Jack, Jack, Jack' and the atmosphere became greater. By now, the band were warmed up and the crowd were getting into the singing. Next came 'Sin City' followed by 'Problem Child' both of which were played spot on - emulating AC/DC's sound perfectly. The last song of the set, 'You Shook Me All Night Long', saw a few up front rockin'. This pumped up the atmosphere immensely.

Judging on various comments during the break, I'd say people really liked this band. They clearly put the effort in and it certainly paid off. I definitely loved the band... they created the sound, the look and the high energy of AC/DC and belted out their hits with great confidence. Everyone was eagerly awaiting the second set - and what a set it turned out to be! Opening with 'Thunderstruck', 'Shoot To Thrill' and 'Hell Ain't A Bad Place To Be' the room was buzzing. The singer's volume had been pumped up, Angus was running round the stage and everyone was getting in to it.

Next came 'Back In Black' and 'High Voltage'. Again the songs were played to a great standard and being classic 'DC tracks everyone knew the lyrics and the whole room was shouting them out. Now, the song the whole club had been waiting for - Bellhouse anthem 'Whole Lotta Rosie'. Everyone was singing, there were people headbanging round the room, the band (Angus in particular) were really performing and everyone loved it.

 The atmosphere now was really hotting up as the band ended the last spot with 'Let There Be Rock'. The room went wild, they weren't going to let the band finish there... so back they came. One of rocks finest riffs opened 'Highway To Hell' followed by 'For Those About To Rock'. It's hard to describe what it was like during these tracks other than 'awesome'! The band had no choice but to return to the stage for their title hit 'Touch 2 Much'. Overall, this band created the sound of AC/DC perfectly and got the image and routine to a very high standard. They sounded tight and chose a fantastic set to play. Another band that are sure to be returning!
