Unbelievable from Bogbrush3, 15/10/12
I had tickets to see Tracer on their first UK tour earlier in the year but was unable to go due to work commitments, so I was determined to get to them this time round as they extended the tour of their second album - Spaces In Between. I dont regret making them such a high priority - their incredible range of high paced metal-esque songs right the way through to slow ballads was impressive, but more so was the perfection with which they completed either side of that spectrum, and everything in between. All this considring the band are a threepiece, and in fact had very recently had a line-up change. In fact, the only slight let down was the fact the band played on a Sunday night and the Brighton crowd were in general lacklustre - a fact that does not or should not reflect on Tracer themselves. The most impressive aspect of the whole experience was the down-to-earth feel created by the band. A stunning cover of Led Zeppelins Rock and Roll was a cue for the lead guitarist from the support band to join Tracer on stage. They humbled themselves again by paying tribute to Black Sabbath with another sublime cover. And to top it all off the band were available to sign memorabilia and chat with the audience after their set. The band tour again for their forthcoming album early next year. I will be booking my tickets in the very near future as I can only imagine their shows will sell out very quickly.
