Last week The Rolling Stones celebrated their 50th anniversary, and to mark the occasion, The Pretty Blue Guns<\/a>, The Bone Collectors<\/a>, Wild Eastern Arches<\/a>, Johannine & Kitsch got together to perform a tribute show to the legendary band.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\"Pretty<\/a><\/p>\n

First up (and the first of the acts I was seeing for the first time) was Kitsch. The vocals were really soft and I couldn’t identify\/recognise any of the songs. The singer also looked totally bored up on stage, casually chucking her cigarette into the nomansland between the stage and the crowd and even checking her phone at one point before sliding her hands back into the pockets of her fur coat. I’m not sure if Andre Leo<\/a> and Jonathan Velthuysen<\/a> are permanent members of the band or if Kitsch is the blonde singer’s solo act, but either way I wasn’t very impressed…<\/p>\n\n\t\t
