The Bucky Rage – The Bongo Club – Friday 6th May

Punk, blues boys, who mostly hail from Glasgow astonished the Spanish last Friday down in Cowgate. Unfortunately programmed too early, The Bucky Rage took to the stage of the Bongo Club, playing to a poor show of ten, approximately.

The band who refer to themselves as “Wrestling Rock and Roll” consists of Glasgow-based lads, Handsome Al, Philthy Collins and Kyle M Thunder, alongside Edinburgh-based Pete Kaos (on keyboard and vocals), and have been on the Scottish music scene for more than ten years. Reminding us of their stage presence, all four adorn themselves with wrestling paraphernalia, and perform in a way that makes their live shows unique. With improvisation and crowd interaction being factors of their routine, they are somewhat of an unpredictable gigging act.

Playing tracks like Teasers and We’re All Damned, there was one predictable aspect to the band; they were all oozing of an energy that screamed punk. Running off stage to then run back on to play their encore, which in this instance was Ghost Rider, it was a darn shame that there were not more in the vicinity to indulge in this band’s energetic performance.
