After being on tour throughout Europe, it was time for Band of Skulls to return home for one show. Having played The Talking Heads venue almost 100 times, it was obvious how comfortable they felt on stage. In between songs support from old friends cheering ‘you did it’ made for quite an emotional performance.
They kicked off with ‘Light of The Morning’ and ‘Diamonds and Pearls’. The energy which they possessed was immense. Their music is reminiscent of The White Stripes. Each note they hit sounded so powerful, it was very easy to imagine this band on a festival stage. All three members played their instruments with such ease, as if producing this amazing sound was simple. Their songs held choruses the crowd happily obliged to sing back to them. ‘I Know What I Am’ was a definite highlight, with it’s instantly lovable tune.
The unity of band and audience was really something to be awed. This show felt special. It was almost like a heroes welcome as the band blasted out their tunes to an adoring audience. It was easy to see their happiness to be home, even if it was just for one night. It felt like a privilege to attend such an intimate show, because this band seem set for big things.
