Lost Angels - Thursday 24 January 2013, Camden Underworld, London


Lost Angels are a super group covers band from USA put together by Troy Patrick Farrell (Ex-White Lion/Pretty Boy Floyd), consisting of; Eric Brittingham (Cinderella), Eric Dover (Ex-Slash's Snakepit/Jellyfish) and Ryan Roxie (Ex-Slash's Snakepit).With a pretty impressive CV between the four of them, I was expecting a good turnout. Sadly the majority of London's glam metal crowd stayed away. Not sure if it was the weather or lack of advertising. However their loss as when would you get the chance to see a member of Cinderella playing in a tiny club! For those who were there, we were treated to 20 cover versions ranging from Cinderella, Alice Cooper and Dad's Porno Mag! Apart from the songs there was good stage banter between Eric & Ryan who both seemed to be genuinely pleased to be here (this was their first night of their European Tour). Ryan seemed particularly on good form communicating with the crowd. Eric seemed a bit distanced from the other two (maybe his was missing Tom) but who cares when we are treated to 3 Cinderella tunes. They covered a good selection of tunes, the night turning into a glam metal jukebox. A thoroughly enjoyable evening for those who attended. Now when will we see the return of Cinderella for another UK tour?

Set list: Night Songs (Cinderella), 20th Centuary Boy (T.Rex), Ziggy Stardust (David Bowie), Helter Skelter (The Beatles), No More Mr Nice Guy (Alice Cooper), Beggars & Hangers-On (Slash's Snakepit), Save Me (Cinderella), No Matter What (Badfinger), Smell My Finger (Dad's Porno Mag), Under Pressure (Queen), Man of the Year (Alice Cooper), This is Why (Jellyfish), Boy or a Girl (Imperial Drag), I'm 18 (Alice Cooper), Fox on the Run (Sweet), Gypsy Road (Cinderella), He's a Whore (Cheap Trick), Surrender (Cheap Trick), Sin City (AC/DC) and Radar Love (Golden Earring).

Rating: 8/10
