Your eccentric keyboard player reporting
Our review from cheesepress.co.uk:A rare visit to our regional capital afforded me the enjoyable experience of watching four young bands showcase their varying musical styles in a fund raising event for Oxfam at the Retro Bar.
The gig opened with Altrincham based foursome Frozen Trees. The melodic guitar riffs and soulful tones of vocalist Chloe Mattison in the opening song 'Protest' set the stage for the rest of the set. Although they have a pleasing style thats easy to follow, the ability for quick tempo change is available as shown in the penultimate 'Timewaster' and the finale 'Ode', an apparent band and fans favourite although it has to be said the rather eccentric out of tune keyboard accompanyment unsettled what was an emotive powerful end to the set. Frozen Trees are: Chloe Mattison: Vocals Guitars, Ste Airey: Lead Guitar, Ric Wade: Bass Keyboards? Dave Cribb: Drums.
I'm going to have to learn to play while drunk or at least move Ode to earlier in the set...
We've also changed our name to The Foreign Office because, well, Frozen Trees was a shit name.

If you either get drunk or change eccentric playing then yu are emo and a failure and I will never buy you a set worth of drinks AGAIN. Feed on that.
