07.08.2025 - Stiff Meds/Irked/Dead Stare - The Grove, Byker


I wasn't feeling 100% at this gig, I ended up leaving before Angel Du$t played as I hoyed up in the toilets.

Though to be fair, not that into them, they do have some ok songs, but the way I was feeling I was more likely to spew my guts up in the venue if I stayed!

Second gig for Dead Stare, nice short set. Wouldn't think it was their second show, kinda like a band that has been around for a while, hopefully more gigs lined up for them.

Was happy to finally see Irked play, nice sort of post punk, want to say they reminded me a bit of X-Ray Spex a bit and another band that I can't recall their name?!

Really good stuff and definitely want to see them play again. I do have their 12" and 7" I need to get round to playing!
Great to see Stiff Meds again, proper smashing it as always!
Was also great (bar being ill) having a show be full on a Tuesday night and during summer when a lot of people are away!
