Walking into Scala the first thing to be seen in the main room is the large open space in front of a knee high stage; and from the sound checks the acoustics seem ready for a perfect gig. An interview with the supporting act “Official Secrets Act” revealed that the band was tired from travelling but eager to impress. And impress they did.
Energy and presence were obvious on stage, all that was lacking were some of the more well known tunes, including the new single “Believe Me”. But this was the only criticism that could be made, as the final song “So Tomorrow” had even newbies to OSA dancing around.
After OSA came the big haired and equally big voiced Steve Bays and Hot Hot Heat. Their setlist included obvious crowd favourites including the well known “Bandages” which had the whole crowd singing in unison. The band also included some songs from the new album “Future Breeds”. These were well received by the audience filled with obvious fans of the band.
Overall the gig was a definite success for both bands, showing their musical ability to all who were there.
4 and ½ / 5
