OK, here goes, can't do pic clues as I'm an old technophobe, who has to ask his 10yr old son to find stuff on his phone ;)


Band name is similar to what Alice welcomed us to?

Album name is what a cat lover may keep?

Ok. I am going to guess Rockpile -- Seconds of Pleasure.

Alice (in Chains) welcomed us to Rockville, a huge music festival, and notoriously fickle cats give you very little very little time to pet them before they scratch you.

Perhaps the insanity of this guess gives you a sense of how clueless I am about what this could be.
 
So, Alice (Cooper) did welcome us to his nightmare, and similar to Nightmare, is the band .........BAD//DREEMS.
A cat lover may keep......DOGS AT BAY.

I saw them support Midnight Oil just before covid in Brixton, on arrival I asked the 8ft Aussie wearing their t-shirt the daft question of if they were any good, he had flown from Germany just to see them, and offered to pay for my ticket if I didn't like them....3 songs in, I was getting both (at time, now 3) albums.
A couple months later, they huddled in front the stage, psyching themselves up, and played like it was their cup final.....to a max of 30 of us in an upstairs room in a Brighton pub. One of best 3 gigs I've ever been to!
Original....no
Talented musicians....no
Self indulgent lyrics.....no
Take themselves seriously.....no
Working class blokes from Adelaide playing,what THEY like having a great time....absolutely!
Weirdly this is possibly, the only album, the only song I skip is the opener!!
Grab a few beers, play it loud, tap your feet to "cuffed and collared" and "dumb ideas" and end up singing the slower ones.....enjoy ;)

Hope it's on Spotify??

Produced by Mark Opitz, who did INXS's stellar Welcome To Wherever You Are. Sounds interesting.
