Kooks 07:24 - Apr 22 with 977 views | Rsole | Saw the Kooks on their current Inside In/Inside Out tour. Small venue, great atmosphere. Really good performance and energy, very impressed with the playlist apart from the poppy guff, but that was limited to just 2-3 tracks out of 20+ and an encore. Mostly played what the tour promised - their first album, plus the majority of better known tracks and a really good acoustic version of Seaside, as you would expect. Looks like they are touring smaller venues in the UK too and if you have/can get tickets, I’d recommend this over watching the next two QPR games. Could save you years in therapy. Will definitely be back for the Konk tour - if it happens. |  |

Yes, there were some interesting hand gestures for that one ☝️! Also a premature start to the whole gig with the wrong guitar intro (twice stopped) before a whispered intervention. After that, pretty flawless. Especially the vocals. |  |

Kooks on 09:59 - Apr 22 with 759 views | FDC | Quite a few bands from that period shone brightly then seemingly vanished without trace. Definitely the soundtrack to a good summer. Similarly The Sunshine Underground. Possibly bigger oop norf I'm not sure. But their first album was the soundtrack to a summer, then vanished. Saw them in a small venue on a reunion tour in Sheffield, absolutely destroyed the place, so good. [Post edited 22 Apr 9:59]

Arctic Monkeys were also on the list but the small venue clinched this one - 900 max capacity makes for a great atmosphere. I hope the UK gigs are for similar sized crowds, it’s a game changer for the right bands. |  |
