Little fish kick start the night bringing their blend of jangly blues rock to a largely empty room.

The female fronted 3 piece ploughed through their set, not without technical issues, with screechy vocals and a safe blend of white stripes-esque rock & roll, although the people watching seemed largely appreciative.

The main support for the evening came from the side project of Troy Van Leeuwen, guitarist in Queens of the Stone Age - named Sweetheart.

Again, female fronted, their sound falls somewhere between good ol’ Southern US desert rock & roll and Hole, and would not have felt out of place in a sleazy Vegas bar.

Trey’s guitar is sounding great. And despite the busty bleached blonde frontwoman’s relentless hip shakin’ I find myself watching more of Troy and his guitar.

There is a long wait before Eagles of Death metal put in an appearance.

The crowd has suddenly grown and has become littered with die hard fans sporting handlebar moustaches and shades, the trademarks of singer Jesse Hughes.

They finally take to the stage, Jesse swaggering on; pose followed by pose followed by pose.

Waving to the crowd they crack into their first number Cherry Cola with the expected absence of Josh Homme, the other half of the band's creative force and frontman for QOTSA.

Three songs in, Jesse addresses the crowd in a thick southern accent: "Is everybody havin' a good time? Say, Amen!"

And the crowd faithfully respond.

The band treat us to tune after tune of hip shakin rock and roll, the atmosphere light hearted but very sweaty, with Jesse, at times not sounding dissimilar to a Pentecostal preacher, exclaiming "as ma grandpappy used to say...it's cooking up a storm in here tonight!"

Constantly playing to the crowd and flirting with the "mighty fine English girls in here tonight" EODM put on more than an hour of sleazy rock & roll - which, although enjoyable, began to become a little repetitive after a while.
