Following a successful show in Edinburgh the night before, Cassidy Paris joined forces with Nottingham glam rockers Midnite City for a double headline show in Glasgow on Friday at The Classic Grand.
On stage first we had the 21 year old Australian, who continues to grow every time I catch her. She has built a decent following within the UK after a couple of years of extensive touring, and that is evident tonight. The setlist is mainly drawn from her debut album, New Sensation along with a stonking cover of the Joan Jett classic Hate Myself For Loving You. You can't help feeling that a support slot on a larger stadium tour would be stepping stone to much greater things for the antipodean rockers.
Midnite City, take us back to those halcion late 80's days of big hooks killer licks and sing along choruses. We open with Outbreak from the bands latest 2023 album, In At The Deep End and what follows is a set of brilliant melodic metal. Heavier tunes mixed with slower powerful ballads. Stand outs are the brilliant, Summer of Our Lives and You Don't Understand Me. A classic 80's sound with an energetic frontman in Robb Wylde.
Next up for them is Nozfest and a slot on the Sunday for the return of the Firefest Festival in Manchester. Do yourself a favour and get out and support some great UK music.
