So I am off tomorrow to see some local metal bands at the Cambridge metal pub.
With bands named Karybdis & Akkadian, I dont think its going to be an acoustic night out.

In contrast Aynsley Lister is in Cambridge in 2 weeks time. A nice evening of blues to look forward to.

I saw Sea Power last night. This was the third time I'd seen the band in Birmingham in the last four years, and the third different venue. Birmingham Town Hall is a grand, spacious concert hall, renovated in the noughties. It's a very smart, elegant venue.

To be honest - I don't think they quite brought the magic last night. They played well. It was great to have Do You Like Rock Music? played in its entirety, an album experience and a gig at the same time. But - I thought the set sagged a bit in the middle. Just a couple too many drawn-out, moody outros. Interaction with the audience was minimal and there was something a little perfunctory about the whole performance.



I'm sure the venue sucked some of the energy out of the gig. Actually for such a distinguished concert hall, the sound wasn't great. I was amused to see how many different chord voicings Hamilton used to play the same three chord motif in No Lucifer, to no audible effect.



There was no encore, so to speak. More like two sets, punctuated by a very brief intermission. For sure Remember Me and Carrion lifted the atmosphere considerably but on the whole .. a little bit low key.

Sea Power again last night. An absolutely belting gig. The band were 100% committed, they seemed to be enjoying themselves quite a bit more than Birmingham three nights earlier, the Leadmill is for me a much, much more convivial venue for this sort of thing. We sang along, we waved our hands, we cheered loudly. I loved every minute. I actually had goosebumps during Canvey Island.

There was a bit more interaction with the crowd but more to the point, the whole thing felt more like a boisterous celebration of the rapport between band and audience, and a transcendent sharing of joy. And I'd only had half a lager.



One minor nitpick - Hamilton was either playing a wrong note in Fire Escape in the Sea up the dusty end of his short scale bass or it was out of tune, or badly intonated. It was about a semitone sharp. I admit I winced, but it didn't spoil the fun.

Scott helped himself to a guitar solo for his birthday in Remember Me.



Definitely in my top three or four (B)SP gigs.
