Hot Leg @ Cabaret Voltaire, 5 Mar

Event preview by Chris Buckle.
Published 20 February 2009

Last seen losing to Scooch in the Eurovision heats and throwing a mini-tantrum in front of a nonplussed Terry Wogan (rock 'n' motherflippin' roll, man), Justin Hawkins has calmed himself down and is ready to rawwwk once more with a new motley crüe christened Hot Leg. Hawkins’ howling falsetto and clever-dumb song-titles like Trojan Guitar means that comparisons with former outfit The Darkness are inevitable. But in a world where Guns N' Roses’ return is considered acceptable, the existence of Holy Ghost Revival is tolerated and AC/DC are officially cool again, perhaps lightning can strike twice for the wiry cat-suited glam-rocker. Take that, Scooch. [Chris Buckle]
