The days following such an awesome gig always leaves you feeling a bit flat - so today's Sari Schorr & The Engine Room, Half Moon, Putney, London, Photo Gallery here - will definitely put a smile back on our faces! With Sari, guitarist Innes Sibun and the rest of The Engine Room in such excellent form, these photos from the official 'A Force Of Nature' debut album launch party (released last Friday) will no doubt get the picture across as what a great time we all had!

Despite us missing them in the mud at Download this year, the Canadian hard-rockin’ juggernaut Monster Truck (Vid Of The Day), have hit the road in Europe again and will be supporting Nickelback in September and October across a host of legendary arenas - one of which is London's O2 Arena which will be attending! The tour follows the release of their new album 'Sittin’ Heavy' which has received rave reviews. In true road warrior style they have already opened for the mighty Guns n' Roses, Slash, Alice in Chains, ZZ Top, Buckcherry, Rival Sons and Vista Chino over the last two years and are ready to show Nickelback fans how hard-rocking they can be!

With unbelievably just 19 days to go now until BluesRockFest at Leo's Red Lion, Gravesend, on Saturday 24th September - we were delighted to see some new footage of Blacktop Deluxe (Track Of The Day - with their new line up) filmed at last month's Cambridge Rock Festival. And just a reminder that if you become a WRC member here for FREE - you not only get all the associated privileges of being a member - but you can also still buy your BluesRockFest ticket for £15 instead of £20!

The last time they played at The Tuesday Night Music Club they brought the house down and now, with a new album to promote, they’ve managed to tempt them back. For a night of blistering guitar, some of the best harmonica playing you’ll ever hear and superb songs culled from their three critically praised albums. Mississippi MacDonald has ‘it’ in spades. He is the ‘real deal’. With a gravelly rich authentic blues voice and a kind of guitar style that commands your attention - so make sure that you get down tonight to the Hooley Village Club, St Margaret's Road, Coulsdon, Surrey, CR5 3RB!

Following their gig at the legendary Paradiso Amsterdam on Saturday, Sari Schorr & The Engine Room stopped off at the equally iconic Half Moon, Putney in London last night on their 'A Force Of Nature' tour. In fact this show was the official album launch party for their debut album released last Friday! Anyway, with a review and more pics to come - check out today's Vid Of The Day.

"Their set started with a couple of explosive Rock numbers that demanded everybody’s attention, and soon had the audience tapping along to the beat. They then showed their softer, more sensitive side by performing latest single 'Towers', with its powerful guitar and authentic Blues twang, which also made the most of Andy’s smooth yet sharp vocals. The raw energy of 'Surrender' raised the pace again, setting the scene for the accelerating rhythm and passionate vocals of 'Close To Nowhere'. This song’s repetitive guitar and drum riff were cleverly used to build up to the explosive chorus, a fitting finale for Cortes’s set: as it finished the roaring applause was inevitable." Read the rest of Big Ian's Cortes Tooting Tram & Social review plus a few pics here.

"An excellent evening of blistering Blues and Rhythmic Rock on Friday from three piece Cortes (pictured) at Tooting Tram & Social" was how our WRC correspondent Big Ian Cawthron described it. "They were excellent, a skilful, tight knit unit with some great songs - even though their set was less than half an hour - and if I included the basic Rock support set from 485C, there was less than an hour's live music!" Anyway fair play to Ian for covering it for us - with a review and more pics to come shortly.
