Tempo 38 - Tempo 38 @ The Globe 20 April 2006
24 Apr 2006 // A review by Shade
Tempo 38 were the second act to open for The Bleeders at their Palmerston North gig @ The Globe on Thursday the 20th of April 2006.
Tempo 38 started where
Black Chrome left off and didn't miss a beat in keeping the crowd worked up. Even those that had not heard of
Tempo 38 before were rocking along to the music and they treated
Tempo 38 as though they were just as much of a local act as
Black Chrome is.
The amount of energy that
Tempo 38 put into each song was truly inspirational and each member of the band showed an amazing amount of passion for the music that they played. Parry's vocals were mind-blowing and everyone loved it.
Tempo 38 is signed to the record label Hit Your Head Records, and the name says it all. This is the sort of music that you shouldn't just tap your feet to - it is the sort of music that you need to really hit your head and move your whole body to. You cannot get away with sitting on the sidelines, you have to get involved.
Tempo 38 really know how to play and their experience shows in their music.
