Round One
Jake and I went to the first of our current run of gigs last night, where we saw Van She and The Bravery at The Corner. It was... quite good, and nothing more. Van She put on a good set but the sound wasn't set up for them and you could tell. They just sounded a bit dull. Nevertheless, enjoyable, and I've never seen them before so I'm glad I did.
The Bravery, who headlined, failed to really move the crowd except during An Honest Mistake. This was perhaps because every other song of theirs is pretty much the same. They even joked about this - someone from the crowd shouted a request, the lead singer said he couldn't remember how it went, "but [our songs] are all the same chords anyway". I couldn't tell you whether they played it or not.
But despite playing essentially the same song over and over, they played it pretty damn well, and it was fairly fun.
Next on the list are Cut Copy playing at the Forum tonight. There's not a doubt in my mind it's going to be rock solid. Then, on Saturday...
