Despite the doors opening at eight for this gig, it was good
hour and a half before the sound-check was complete and the gig began. The John
Macleod Band were first on the bill and filled the room with their chilled out,
retro sound. The band really seemed to grow as the set went on, seeming more at
ease with every song that they played. A lively performance from all of their
members and a melodic, rounded and well rehearsed sound.
Up next were The Nanateas who have such a unique sound,
almost as if they have Hawaiian influences imbedded into their clean sound and bluesy
vocals. Every song seemed to be totally different with some really clever
backing vocals and harmonies. There was a good sense of musicianship throughout
the band and they put a lot of energy into their set.
They definitely returned with style at their comeback gig;
Dead Radio Society took the stage by storm with their sudden start to their
set. It is very obvious that the band know their sound and where they want to
be from their definitive style and the energy that they all performed with.
From the polished songs to the variation in tempo, Dead Radio Society have
really nailed their sound. Every member of the band and every instrument served
a purpose and added to the depth of the music and it really worked well
together live.
