Tuff & Shameless - Wednesday 2 October 2013, Camden Underworld, London




If you are familiar with the Metal Sludge website then you're aware of the 2 lesser known 'hair metal' bands of the 80's. Neither have toured the UK for 6 years but have now returned for a series of UK dates under the moniker - 'Hairband Extravaganza'. For this tour, Shameless consist of Steve 'Sex' Summers (ex Pretty Boy Floyd) on vocals and Ace Finchum on drums. As a result we get 4 PBF songs - 'Leather Boyz', 'Rock N Roll Outlaws', 'Your Mama' and 'Set the Night on Fire' and a few Shameless songs. As usual Summers is having a blast on stage. A perfect warm up set.


Steve 'Sex' Summers - Shameless
Steve Rochelle is not the only original member of Tuff anymore. Todd Chase is back playing bass. Clearly pleased to be back playing live, even if he wouldn't look out of place playing with The Exploited! Playing all their classics including 'I Hate Kissing you Goodbye', 'Summertime Goodbye', 'The All New Generation' and finishing off with 'American Hair Band'. Shame that the turnout was low. However those who were there certainly had nothing but a good time, especially when both Steve's are prepared to hangout at the merchandise stall both before & after the show. Cheers guys!

Rating: 8/10
