Finally the notorious Urban Guerillas hit the stage and presented the punters with an impressive line up of new songs, as well as all the classics. The set ranged fromthe dynamic guitar driven cover of That's Entertainment to the more mellow acoustic numbers, strikingly ornamented by the didgeridoo, and everything in between.  It's great to see a band that actually has something to say and the new single is no exception. Big Brother's catchy riffs, upbeat tempo and lyrics with a social conscience amount to a remarkable piece of songwriting.  If  this is anything to go by the upcoming album Soundtrack to the Revolution should be a real delight. The Guerillas' set was full of energy and enthusiasm and Ken Stewarts' stage antics were as amusing as ever. The atmosphere oozing from the the stage was contagious and the crowd wouldn't let them leave, demanding more (I think they ended up doing three encores).  All this took place in a very cool venue, the Britannia Hotel, one of the most relaxed pubs in the city. It was fascinating to see such a wide variety of people, none too interested in the pokies, in the same place at the same time enjoying a stack of good music.
