Wht has happened to The Stone Gods and Hot Leg both were tipped for big things ,I admit to buying Stone Gods cd I really like it as for Hot Leg the name is really naff and the album is not very good, sounds a bit like sweepings of the floor when The Darkness split ,I did see the Darkness in Plynouth they were superb ,untill the following week when I saw Muse well that was it ,if you ever get to do one thing before you die (as the saying go's Get along to see MUSE can anyone beat that ?
Bands tend to release an album and then tour it world-wide. Given the size of their potential market outside the UK, this can mean an absence of six - nine months a year as they play tours and festivals elsewhere, so both bands will probably re-appear in the summer for festival gigs, or in the autumn, the standard touring season over here.
