First up was Agent Blue, a five-piece band from Stoke On Trent, who are signed to Fierce Panda. The stage was engulfed in a mass of smoke and strobe lighting as the band made their appearance with opening song 'New School Devil'. The set was so hard driven with strong bass lines and powerful guitar chords that the whole place vibrated. Lead singer Nic Andrews had the presence of a young Johnny Rotten in his prime. He held the audience's attention and nothing fazed him. They finished 6 songs later with their current release 'Snowhill', a Placebo-sounding guitar intro, leading to a frenzied climax of an impressive set. Although only 18 years old, the band have been together for 2 years and had played to a sell out gig of 400 people the night before in their home town, so tonight's turnout, although smaller, witnessed a band to watch out for.
