With a clever name like The Sick Leaves I must admit I expected a lot more. These guys didn’t really manage to grab my attention for more than a couple of minutes. Now there are two possible reasons for this:
1. Jameson’s in large volumes
2. The Hellphones completely outshined them
Let’s hope it’s one of those. I often hear about the Sick Leaves, but they didn’t quite cut the mustard this time. That’s not to say I’d avoid them, like maybe, umm, -cringe- Rokkeloos.
Am I wrong? Was I drunk? Am I biased ‘cos some idiot came and chased me away when taking photos?
Best that you just watch them and decide for yourself.

I caught The Sick Leaves at a gig sometime last year, also with The Hellphones, and I was truly dissapointed. I found them boring, and bland, with not much to offer. The Hellphones on the other rock.
