Ocean Colour Scene

Ocean Colour Scene may not move many records as they did at the stature of their 'Moseley Shoals' distinction in the 90s, however they demonstrated Glasgow's Barrowlands simply why they keep on offering out venues here and there the nation as one of the best live acts around.

Their current tour is a festival of the fifteenth year since the arrival of that collection. The mediating years have seen the band's broad claim blur sort of as their mix of 60's style Rhythm n' Blues and Folk Rock has tumbled from design, and the takeoff of Damon Minchella from bass obligations, supplanted by Dan Sealey and Andy Bennett on bass and cadence guitar individually, may have been seen by a few as indicating the demise chime for the one-time Britpop top picks.

Notwithstanding, the change to a five-piece appears to have revived the imaginative squeezes inside the gathering, as prove by a come back to structure with a year ago collection discharge 'Saturday', and in light of their Barrowlands execution on Friday night, it surely hasn't hurt their live sound.

In the opening a large portion of the show, the band tore through the tracklisting to their 1996 fantastic 'Moseley Shoals' collection from beginning to end, guitarist Steve Cradock indicating from the opening riff of 'The Riverboat Song' through to a storming solo on collection closer 'Escape' simply why he is a standout amongst the most regarded musical artists around right now.

Specific highlights were the swarm satisfying 'The Day We Caught The Train' and 'You've Got It Bad', which offered a drum solo from Oscar Harrison that shook the establishments of the old dance hall. In the middle of times, the more melancholic style of 'Covering Your Pockets' 'It's My Shadow' and 'The Downstream' showcased frontman Simon Fowler's flexibility as both a vocalist and a musician.

From the minute they came on with day tripper they were outstanding thats me seen them about 35 times my favourite is when Simon Fowler comes on with an encore by himself and sings Robin Hood my personal favourite track.Cant wait til they are back in Glasgow again maybe this time the Barrowlands.Thank you Simon Steve Oscar for a truly fabulous night.Ocs we are the mods
