First
and only support at tonight's sold out show is.
Le Blorr, there seems to seeing a spate of bands
that start with Le/La, must have been an off shoot
of the whole 'The' thing, anyway, Le Blorr are
an indie/synth/rock 3 piece. They are a pretty
damn good band, everything song is different,
easy to listen to and on the most part really
catchy stuff, the singer has got a decent voice,
and visually there an active band, really moving
with the music. This is there first time in the
UK and they didn't show any nerves at all, everything
seemed fluid enough, and it shows in their performance.
This is a solid set from this band and AVA will
have to be on top form to beat their support tonight,
always good to see a really decent support act.
Le Blorr, give them a listen.
why isn't this band playing arenas yet? The stage
show I'm thinking would be epic, something I hope
happens sooner rather than later. They open their
set with the band coming on one by one to actually
play the intro music, then as Tom comes on they
open the set with Saturday Love, great opener
and super catchy really getting the crowd going,
they follow with it hurts, which takes things
down a notch, Tom ditches the guitar for Surrender.
While
its totally its own thing, there's always a hint
of blink 182s more serious stuff lurking in the
background, not sure if it's how the songs are
written, guitar tones or just Toms voice, but
it's there.
They carry on with superb set which includes Dry
Your Eyes, The Adventure, Every thing's Magic,
Young London, Lifeline, this is not a fast paced
but a constant paced set there's no slow songs
either, just keeping things constantly on the
boil. While the bands albums seem very concept,
the songs don't seem that way at all, nothing
seems outta place or disjointed, it seems to flow
well.
They continue on with there is, which Tom opens
with a funny story on how he lost his virginity,
this is followed by Hallucinations and the superb
secret crowds which closes the main set.
After a quick break they come back on with All
that we are, which Ilan Rubin their new drummer,
plays a piano intro too, it's seems outta place
but rather fitting too and it's good to see him
out behind the drums, the man is multi talented!!
They close the early might out with AVA classic
The War, great way to close the night out to a
superb crowd and a really great performance and
choice of set. Superb night. 5/5
Le Blorr 4/5
Angels And Airwaves 5/5
