Futureheads – Down At The Front https://www.downatthefront.co.uk The place to be to experience new music Tue, 10 Apr 2012 18:38:58 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.1 212659681 Futureheads a cappella tour https://www.downatthefront.co.uk/archives/529 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 19:02:05 +0000 http://gigs.pahudson.net/?p=529 I’ve only recently become a fan of the Futureheads. I caught them when they played a charity event at the Roundhouse. I really liked the short sharp shock, instancy of their music. So I’ve been keeping an eye out for their gigs. Unfortunately (or so I thought), this tour turned out to be an a cappella tour. A cappella, in my opinion, is fine in small doses, and their recent acapella album, was a few song long of being the right length. Individually the music was good, collectively it felt too ‘samey’. So I wasn’t sure what to expect from tonight’s gig.

My trepidation was unfounded. Instead tonight’s gigs at the excellent Union Chapel, was a fun filled 90 minutes of excellent vocal harmonisation, interspersed by imaginative acoustic takes on their back catalogue with some interesting covers, such as a Black Eyed Peas number.

For the last few numbers, the lads were ably supported by their support act, The Cornshed Sisters, and a London choir. It was a great finish to a great night’s entertainment.
