I love watching performances that make you fall in love even further with a band that you were already crazy about. The highly energetic, and skilful performance that Futurebirds recently gave was a great example of this, and after the show I went straight to iTunes, and bought their entire back catalogue of EPs and albums. The indie rock band are all incredibly talented musicians in their own right, and each instrumentalist had a chance to play a solo, which really gave us in the audience an insight to their musical talent, that isn’t sometimes as evident on their recorded tracks.
They opened the show with Tan Lines, and had the audience singing along straight away. Front man Thomas Johnson was shouting our for us to sing along and even taught us sections of the choruses to cry out when they held the microphone our way. Their use of instruments that don’t usually appear in mainstream bands is great, and their banjo and mandolin along with their excessive use of reverb on the pedal steel guitar makes their sound distinctive.
From holding the audience in silence, to having everyone singing and dancing along, they hand everyone in the palm of their hands, and played an incredible set.
