Talking about REHAB...

Rehab leave us addicted by Roy Goodall

Extracts from an article in the Derbyshire Times / Chesterfield Today

"I've learned much over the years, but when it comes to music it's blatantly obvious that you should not judge groups by their name.

Calling yourself Rehab would ordinarily have put me off, but when they cover contemporaries like Green Day, Feeder and The Killers, it is only right that I am drawn to Brampton's Royal Oak.

Opening with U2's Vertigo and Franz Ferdinand's Take Me Out, the tone was set for the night though Rehab do recognise their past - with classics from Thin Lizzy, The Who and some guy called Hendrix all mixed up in a set-list, along with The Killers' Smile Like You Mean It"...

"Comprising Chesterfield lad Gary on vocals, Nick on bass, Brian on lead and Adam on the tubs, the group have only been in this current line-up for about a year - a year which has seen a whole host of dates behind them and left them with a diary-full of bookings ahead.

Tight and musically-gifted, Rehab belted out popular floor-fillers like I Predict a Riot by the Kaiser Chiefs, Blur's Song Two and The Automatic's Monster, leaving the packed venue happy and satisfied.

I also realised as I left that I had just witnessed a quality band doing exactly what a band should do - leave you wanting more."

Our Grand Finale was from a band called REHAB. The boys are described as "a professionally minded 4 piece contemporary and classic indie pop/rock covers band featuring an incredible line up of the highest quality." Quite a statement boys but REHAB did not disappoint and did exactly what they said on their tin. A confident set with artistes covered including Franz Ferdinand, The Killers, Ocean Colour Scene, Arctic Monkeys and more, were the order of the day. The set over, the crowd bayed for more and, luckily landlord Paul showed them the upturned thumb and we were treated to a few more numbers from REHAB.
