Then Jerico (15/05/13) - Find a better live band if you can!
Watched them Monday 13th May at Manchester Academy and have to say I was completely blown away.
Not a confirmed fan, though obviously aware of their chart success in the 80s, I was dragged along by a friend and fully expected a night watching a stage occupied by middle-aged men playing to an audience desperate to hang on to the remnants of their youth. A tad harsh I know but it was Monday and I had endured a terrible journey from Leeds, made all the worse by some old grandad riding around Manchester on a bus, playing havoc with the traffic.
Its hard to define why I found the band so good but I think Mark Shaw may have hit on it in a recent interview, when he stated that the band realised what they had lost and were grateful to have the opportunity to play together again. Whatever the reason, the spark is definitely there.
The combination of a very talented, tightly-knit band and a front man with both mercurial vocals and the energy to shape the atmosphere of the gig is the x-factor here. You dont need to know the songs and, like me, you may not think that they are the strongest tunes ever written. What is undeniable however is that they deliver on stage like few bands can.
I wont run through the track-listing or try and pinpoint stellar moments but will simply say that I have seen many, many bands and artistes over the past 25 years but I cannot remember a live performance of such quality.
Dont believe me? I wouldnt have either before the gig!

Protest The Hero (07/08/12) - On fire!
I was at the Club academy for Protest The Hero. It was so packed! Too hot too sweaty. Manchester is the best place for music. All the people were pushing and shoving, it was so bad my friend had to go to the back. When they did come on they very awseome but I wish there were less people there that night...
