Gig Review: W.A.S.P. / South of Salem – KK’s Steel Mill, Wolverhampton (18th March 2023)
Back in KK’s Downing’s gaff for another night which promises to entertain, it’s getting to the point where I’d be as well seeing about renting a room at KK’s Steel Mill and save on the travel.

W.A.S.P. – O2 Academy Glasgow, 18th September 2015
Thirty-three years and still going strong, W.A.S.P. are on the closing leg of their ten-date tour tonight in Glasgow.
