I can take or leave shoegaze. I need at least some of the songs to head off into a more trancy or psychy territory and break up the one pace nature of many shoegaze bands music. Night Swimming didn’t break away from the tried and tested formula. It was pleasant to listen to but I overheard somebody say that all the songs sounded similar, and it was hard to disagree.

Intimate and stripped back, Dana explored her tracks off her brilliant new album and mixed in some older tracks and requests. I think the photos do a good job of showing how relaxed and natural this show felt. It really was a special instore.

Liam has a great voice and his reggae accessible to people like me who don’t listen to much reggae.

I saw Rough Trade West had an early Saturday evening gig with an unknown band to me, The Miserable Rich. After a nice walk across from Kings Cross. I enjoyed a really lovely set from the Miserable Rich. Material that was both heart breaking and joyous. They have a new fan.

]]> 24361 ARXX https://www.downatthefront.co.uk/archives/18661 Mon, 10 Apr 2023 23:37:18 +0000 https://www.downatthefront.co.uk/?p=18661 I nearly missed this gig. I saw it had been moved from Rough Trade East to West, but missed the fact the date had changed to Saturday. Luckily, I noticed it when trying to find an early evening Saturday gig. Given the band are a two piece with drummer and guitarist and the limited space of RTW, this had to be a very stripped back version, complete with glockenspiel as a drum replacement. Enjoyable enough. But I would have preferred their normal setup.

The evening started with beautiful alt-folk from Nadine Khouri in Rough Trade West. Somehow fitting an almost full band show into the tiny shop. Closing the evening at Rough Trade East was the contrast of doom rockers, Pigs x7. An excellent evening of contrasts
