Keep it up. This is exactly what music should be doing – stimulating debate and comment. And it's purely because we all LOVE music to death that we get out our metaphorical (I hope) bottles of piss.

For people who claim to know what reviewing music is like, they don't really seem to understand the concept of comps. Why do all these people think that Laura bought a ticket?

They have a good ear for a tune and display moments of genius and real musicianship in their songs. My parents are both rock 'n roll fans from the 70's, something I've inherited, and that retro sound fused with modern beats makes for a cracking sound. Also the personalities in the band work well, the ego/swagger of Tom and his ability to belt out a tune, and then the more enigmatic Sergio with his softer voice, shown brilliantly on tracks like me plus one and Thick as thieves are a brilliant contrast ensuring the band should have some longevity.<br>So as for the gig, the band couldn't have been better. The atmosphere around us was amazing, when 'Fire' started the crowd went a littly crazy and I found myself bouncing around grinning madly at complete strangers. The test of a band is always can they sound the same live as they do on the CD and the answer was a resounding YES! Better in parts. The Doberman was brilliant and Shoot the Runner will always be a favourite. <br>Negatives - yes their were some, I am capable of being impartial. Firstly the set could have been longer, in that hour and half we got all the tunes we loved, but their were a few slower tracks on the new album that could have changed the pace throughout. Also while Eden looked amazing at night and I know the staff work hard, I thought the organisation for the gig was quite poor. Their were only two bars and my mate was stuck in the queue for almost an hour, missing the rather dull 'The Hours' support act. Also the recent trend for throwing beer/plastic glasses throughout the gig continues to be hazardous, really unpleasant if you get soaked and just a waste of beer. <br>The other nitpick I have is with the exits, when the gig finished everyone piled towards the same exit with it taking an awfully long time to get to the top where we were informed by police that if you wanted Taxis then they were back down the path and out another exit.
