fables clunyRising stars of the UK rock scene, Fables Last Stand, face an anxious 48 hours after illness forced the guys to pull out of this week’s gig with Sons Of Albion.

And now the band is in a race against time to be back on its feet ahead of Saturday’s show at Gosforth Civic Hall – a homecoming gig for local resident and axe slinger Twiggy.

rushonrock wish the boys all the best – and we can’t wait for debut album Love & Exile to hit the streets after bagging a demo copy of Fables’ long awaited debut album.

With the track order still to be finalised we’ve heard all 10 songs in full. And fans of the band – plus those of you who don’t yet realise you will become fans – are in for a real treat as the sleaze kings play their way through a series of Aerosmith/GNR/Quireboys-style modern classics.

Check out the band’s MySpace site for snippets of their fave tunes – these are the 10 tracks which made the final cut:

Drag The Stone; Where Does The Music Go; Japanese Rain; Stray Dog; New Breed; Don’t Come Down (Hard); Shooting Star; junk Food; The Wheel; So…Gracious.

We’ll be posting a full review here soon and stay posted to Fables’ MySpace and Twitter for news on Saturday’s Gosforth gig…
