Well, thanks again for those of you that popped down to the Social on the 18th. I have to say that this one was yet again a beauty. Fun was had by all as all the bands were not only excellent, but also friendly and quite happy to share various equipment.
It was a warm evening in London and the early part was spent with people preferring to enjoy a drink out on little Portland street, in fact I think there was literally no one inside during the early part of the evening. This changed however once The Welcome Committee (AKA Jamie) climbed up onto the stage armed only with his guitar and book of songs. Those that tune into Tuckshop Community Radio will be quite familiar with the melodic rumblings of this fine chap, sweet melodies and narrative lyrics blend into perfect harmony and everyone in the Social sat, stood and listened in awe.
Second on the bill were the mighty impressive So Say So, Who I must admit, I had little knowledge of, other than a quick listen on their myspace page, before I went on Holiday. This unfamiliarity didn't last long though as not only were the band thoroughly likeable, but they also hit the Social Crowd with such a full belting sound that everyone stood in amazement. We were all gripped by their roller coaster of a set and it's no wonder that this fine band have been picked to support American Indie band The Veils at the Scala in late September.
" I hope we're ok tonight" Said Jamie, the frontman of Last Dinosaur, "it's been a while since we last played", and after the superb set from So Say So, they did indeed have a lot to live up for. However, riseth the gig, riseth the band and there was nothing extinct at all about their performance. Violins played alongside guitars, the crowd nodded along and even the soundman jumped about excitedly behind them all. An album is not far on the Horizon and I think everyone who was at the gig will be looking forward to it's release.
Here are some more pics....
