Photopass wasnt exactly on the door, but someone came down with it after about 5 minutes! So no problem at all there! so straight into the review! Huzzah!
First of all. Just a heads up. If you really dont like Ska music you might not enjoy this review, as these are 3 of the best Ska bands ive ever heard.
Review:
Mouthwash! (i dont know whats with all the !!'s today? maybe im shouting this whole thing!)
I have to start the song 'No Fear' as its still stuck in my head. Its quite clearly their anthem, and as soon as it starts bouncing through the crowd, everyones hands are above their heads clapping. Though the whole set was as thougtful and a pleasure for your ears.
Instruments were being changed and swapped throughout the whole set, energy and movement throughout every member of the band, and every one of them singing along with the lyrics. A definate listen for someone who enjoys their Ska or awesome music in general, and a bit of healthy competition for the likes of Reel Big Fish.
Next up! The JB Conspiracy!
Another talented group of musicians with a bunch of catchy, dance inducing party tunes. Rythmn which bounces through your bones and takes hold of your legs, if your not swinging your arms and legs uncontrollably, you'll be tapping your foot and i bet you cant stop it.
At one point one of the group jumped up over the pitwall and into the crowd began skanking and playing his instrument in the crowd itself before making his way back up onto the stage.
A quality shock and awe moment, and just shows the joy which the band find in playing to a crowd. Just as good as Mouthwash and another quality opener in what was fast becoming a great show.
Enter *Big D and the kids table*
The music is clear, melodic and beautifully thoughful and well crafted. Every note is there for a reason, and the lyrics scored through the middle to highlight the talent in the player of each instrument.
David McWane is the coolest guy ive ever seen in my life. He held the crowd in the palm of his hand with laugh out loud funny stories and a geniune rapport with the crowd, he positioned himself as the best front man ive ever seen preform live.
Playing up to every member of the crowd and every camera pointed at him, its obvious that he is a natural born preformer. The music channelled through him into the crowd, every member of it, with a smile on their face, mirrored by the massive grin on his face while he preforms.
A talented band, with catchy upbeat tunes, an awesome ending to an awesome show.
