More on Empress

Empress performed another outstanding rock solid performance @ the Cross Keys this Friday evening featuring covers that they have become renowned for . Empress have now transformed themselves into a formidable band & are receiving plaudits when-ever & were-ever the perform through out the region, with vocalist Louise who has now got to be amongst the top rock female singers around fronts a band that just shines through with quality. From early as the first set when they covered there own version of Nothing Else Matters you could just feel the hairs on the back of your neck stand out to well into the second set they did a medley of sixties covers which had the local movers & shakers going that extra mile on the evening.This was guitarist Andrew's final gig with the band as he goes on to pastures new & played as well as Ive seen him play in all the gigs Ive seen Empress & will be sorely missed but they band have a terrific replacement in Gav Coulson who will fill Andrew's departure  without no problem.Excellent evening once again from this great rock band & i wait in anticipation for there next gig with the new lineup .
