Fronted by a lady holding a bottle of wine and sporting the latest design of bin liner Roxy is far from the likes of the femme-fronted Donnas that graced Leeds just 24 hours previously. Roxy is a front-woman that lets the whole band down. Her vocals spew forth from her mouth leaving a searing pain between my temples as the band move from song-to-song. Her voice ambles along at the same pace and never picks up.
Whilst saying this, its important to note just how good the guitarist and bassist standing to Roxys right hand side sound. The two of them work together throughout to hammer out riffs and basslines than would be more befitting a serious thrash-metal crowd.
Roxy may well prance her way in to the crowd and jump on and off stage yet, to those of us that can look past the fact shes female, she ends up looking and sounding as cheesy as Courtney Love.
Top marks for guitar number 1 and bass perhaps on another day this set would be entirely different but today Roxy has let her whole side down.
