Haven't seen them, but have heard an audience recording of one of their
gigs. Rather excellent, possibly tending a bit toward the more laid-back
style of the McDonald and Giles album, some material from which they
perform - but with eruptions of power. Very good stuff. (Eruptions of
Power, sounds like a new hair metal band braving the contempt of the
music press after The Darkness have paved the way).

Jakko Jakszyk, formerly of Level 42 (a band I've never heard and know
nothing about). He sounded quite good on the recording I heard, and he
didn't try to hog the spotlight.
