ROCK NIGHT - COUNTY HOTEL, SELKIRK

From the outset, Straight Shooter have always wanted to promote live music and encourage young bands. Some of the band members are actively involved in tuition.

The Selkirk gig gave us the chance to showcase some new talent and give them some gigging experience.

The Reckoning are based in Galashiels and have been playing together for about a year. Their first outing was at Hawick's 'Battle of the Bands' competition. They lost out to a more experienced band who had a lot of original material. However they were highly scored by the judges and came very close to winning their round. We think their brand of metal is excellent and we're looking forward to hearing them!

They are: Andrew on vocals, Shaun and James on Guitar, Lewis on Bass and Kris on Drums.

Sexy Young Assassins - (there's a name!) have played in different bands before, (NRK and 'Up in Smoke') and their lead singer/guitarist, Math has played solo and is currently recording his own album. They have been playing together since October '04 and this is their first live outing .

The others are Danny on lead guitar, Stuart on bass and backing vocals and 'Rug' on drums. They are a lighter rock band with some covers of The Clash, Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Rolling Stones, Stereophonics and Jet. They will kick off at 9:30. Be there or be square!
