Last night laden with beer, Edgy his brother-in-law Frank, a stalwart Quo fan, and I fell upon Rockers in Glasgow, a dingy wee rock venue by The Arches under the Glasgow Central railway station.
We were on our way to being well lubed with beer by the time they came on the small stage at 11ish. I reckon if I wasn’t already slightly drunk I would have still loved the night.
The band, if you hadn’t already guessed it from the title of the post, was called Staid As Quo, a (again, you guessed it) Status Quo tribute band. The first time I’ve ever seen a trubute band and I have to admit that they played a blinder, only concentrating on 1976 Quo, that being the ‘Golden Age of Quo’, and by the time they finished at around 1 in the morning I was filled with 12 bar blues related joy. Much air guitar was performed…
Next time they happen to heading though town head over and see them. Well worth the money. Easily better then the real thing…
