Only The Good:
Upbeat rockers Only The Good tear open the dark underbelly of Heavy Metal and stuff it with energetic punk attitude, before marinading in a sweaty mix of high octane rhythms and screaming guitar harmonies. Best served with naan and lager.

Having been playing for over a year at various venues in and around Birmingham, such as The Flapper, Jug Of Ale, Bar Academy, Varsity Wolverhampton, The Palace Tamworth, supporting several acts such as Bryn Christopher (signed to Polydor records), the band is well established on the live scene.

Platform Promotions presents Cold Shot Trio + The Redcaps + Burning Thirteen

Cold Shot Trio:
Cold Shot Trio are a dynamic and unique Midlands based band, a fiery venom of eclectic blends, that can be tagged to Jazz, Rock, Blues with a traditional familiar Texas Soul feel that runs deeper than your back-bone. The 'soul' intention is to make heads bop. The 3 strong force: Tom, Lars, Phil forged an instant binding friendship and a united musical dream. We feel strongly that the music we produce does not shamelessly pander to any particular fashion or fad and most importantly, not driven by the hope that we'll make radio 1 some day. This ideal has given Cold Shot Trio a freshness that has impressed its audiences.

Venue: The Sunflower Lounge, 76 Smallbrook Queensway, B5 4EG
Time: 8pm
