Event Venue: The Thekla, Bristol

Surprisingly a fair few people were at The Thekla in time to catch thecocknbullkid's support set for CSS. And they were in for a treat!

I hadn't heard of thecocknbullkid before, but it would appear that some of the early attendees had. Funky and catchy music was what was on offer, and I will be going back for seconds when thecocknbullkid is anywhere near the South West Region. I would urge anyone to listen to thecocknbullkid's music on MySpace. Sadly "Boys And Girls" and "I'm Not Sorry" aren't on there as I write, but "On My Own" and "No Cure" are and they should get you hooked!

thecocknbullkid influences as per their MySpace account include Morrissey, Scissor Sisters, Beyonce and Kelis, and for me that pretty much sums up what I heard in the lyrics and style of music of what I have constantly listened to for over a month now!

I actually didn't manage to catch thecocknbullkid's name when they took to the stage but my lengthy search was well worth the wait! I e-mailed The Thekla to ask them for it, so thanks to them for letting me know, and when I was told of their name, I went on to their MySpace and listened to all of their tracks reliving the previous night.

It was a short set, but very enjoyable, and thecocknbullkid was the perfect starter for the main course of CSS!
