Tonight
The Dead Formats brought a fuse of energy to the
stage. The gig may not have been sold out but
that did not stop The Dead Formats from giving
it their all. The venues stage was a little on
the small size for the six piece band from Essex
but The Dead Formats proved tonight that there
is no such thing as a small stage but only small
bands, from this they delivered an extraordinary
rare performance for our era. They really have
taken things back to the old school era of Small
Faces and The Clash and such bands, which is something
that I think is missing in the current music scene.
Ditton who is one of two vocalists is one of
the best front men I have seen in a long time,
bringing to stage with him an extremely energetic
performance full of character. All band members
appear to have a true working bond who are thirsty
to bring back a music scene that some people may
call dead, if The Dead Formats have anything to
do with that current statues it won't stay dead
for long. There were certain people at this gig
that may not have been a fan but after songs such
as Step it Up, Again and Again and new tunes not
featured on the album blaring in their ears they
very soon changed their minds. Its still early
days for The Dead Formats but I do believe they
are set for very great things as tonight as proved
a success for them.
The Dead Formats - 4/5
