Kasabian and the Fratellies Live at Earls Court

Mel, Jeff and myself were really looking forward to this concert and it didnt disappoint! My review of the concert is below.

The Fratellis

Excellent warm up set for the main event. Chelsea Dagger live was every bit as good as you would think… absolutely fantastic! For a three piece they sounded very good and although the performance lacked a little charisma, the music made up for it!

The set was a little short but a very enjoyable support.

Kasabian

Empire will never sound any better than it did live. The set was electric and aroused the audience into an appreciative frenzy. The front man Tom Meighan had the audience captivated and special praise has to go to Ian Matthews on drums for some of the best drumming solos witnessed to date – absolutely superb! The brand of electro-rock which this band are pursuing at the moment is just out of this world when performed in front of a live audience and transfers so well from the studio to the arena. Every bit as good, and then some, live when compared to recorded performances. Fantastic!

The Grates - Kings College

About 9 of us from the Mansions headed to Kings College to see the Grates, yes we came all the way to London to see a Brisvegas band. We have been trying to get tickets to bands like the Zutons and Raconteurs but we are always too slow and they sell out fast. We had a few snakies at the Temple Walkabout and then headed over.

The Grates put on a fantastic energenic show, the venue was pretty small as well so you could right up close.
