So I took up the chance to do this and being a fairly new listener to their music I went in with interest to see what all the excitement was about.Previous to the show I’d heard from a few of the band members themselves that fans had compared them to numerous bands before and there was a wide variety of bands named during this. A large crowd had gathered, in actual fact 1 of the biggest Id seen in Danny’s Bar for quite sometime, between the crowds of people at the beginning of the show emerged a hooded figure that slipped through the crowd and made his way to the rest of the band. On hitting the front of the room and reaching the rest of the band he lowered his hood and our vocalist had arrived. The band burst into action, and right from the start they were full of energy and had the audience fixed. To begin with the audience was pretty calm, but with the help of the band and some of their loyal followers stood by the bar (from their home town) the Danny’s bar crowd soon got going. The band played a selection of songs including their new single ‘Check This.’ The band themselves are definitely aware of what their fans expect and want and give a new listener something different and interesting to listen to. There live sets are full of energy and this particular gig was even better due to the intimate setting allowing fans to get that little bit closer to the band. I arrived at the gig a new listener and went away a fan, just itching for more. |
