“This is the first show in two years I havn’t worn shorts for” Shikari’s front man, Rou, announces as the band enter fashioning suits, each with a different Halloween mask on. Already making this feel like a special show, the band waste no time in blasting out album favourites to an extremely excitable crowd with the average age of about 15. I was surprised at how many new tracks they revealed, though for the first time at a gig I’ve been to, they went down just as well as the old classics, proving they’re definitely not one-album ponies. The energy conveyed from the band members was electric, the passion they have for their songs was clear.
After a very energetic performance, the obligatory encore was a definite highlight, as they stormed the stage with their two most popular songs ‘Sorry You’re Not A Winner’ and ‘Ok, Time For Plan B’, definitely saving their best until last. It seemed like they had connected with the entire audience as every single person clapped their hands in time and sung the lyrics back to an appreciative Rou, coming to an explosive climax of noise, but it was great noise. This band bring so much to their live shows, creating a night to remember and leaving the crowd wanting to see them again and again. This was my second time seeing them live and I still want to go again, I was that impressed.
