Hecklergigs: John Power, The Social 1/22
Last year was a good one for the comeback. Everyone pined for the 90s as Brit behemoths Take That returned, everyone invested in earplugs as the Spice Girls reformed, and a lot less people were excited by Shed 7’s reunion.
It’s a shame really, because the largely-forgotten indie stalwarts performed a string of sold out dates, taking them (and us) back to a time when they toured with everlasting dad-rock purveyors Oasis and the girls screamed their names. Also on that long lost 1994 tour were pop rock scousers Cast led by ex-Las bassist John Power, who went on to give us Britpop favourites such as Sandstorm and Walkaway before taste got the better of them and they went their separate ways.
Now John Power is back, but in the paraphrased words of LL Cool J, don’t call it a comeback, because he’s actually been here for years.
