Late of the Pier are on the cusp of becoming the must see band around town, having said that best wait till they finish touring with Hadouken (yuck). I almost saw them once in Hoxton however due to a mixture of vomit and to quote the bouncer on the night “undermining him” I did not see them. Despite my efforts to get into the venue along with the help of Erol Alkan it was not to be in Hoxton.
Roll on 24 hours at Fabric well known for its all night / early morning dance parties, Late of the Pier were scheduled to play and this time I was there to see them. Now there is no better band to kick start a party than these boys, as soon as they hit the room they controlled the stage and crowd. Ripping into ‘Broken’ the whole room was dancing to the first 60 second intro. “Didn’t sleep last night, couldn’t come down” I don’t know about last night, but I don’t imagine too many people in that room could come down that night, but that’s just the nature of fabric.
“Space and the woods” is the perfect party anthem; it has all you’d ever want from a song: great beats, killer bass-lines and lyrics that you just can’t help screaming back. Late of the Pier continue to pull out the brilliant beats and impressive songs from their extensive back catalogue including “Random Firl”, “A heartbeat a flicker a line” and “VW”.
‘The Bears are coming’ has just everything good about it, from the great chorus to the obscure sounds it just about epitomizes what Late of the Pier are about. They don’t take themselves too seriously but they certainly have putting on a great live show high on the agenda. Of course they end with the new single ‘Bathroom Gurgle’ which is just about the best song to be released this year. “Put your hands on your waist line and move your body to the bass line” Sam shouts, and it’s exactly what everybody does.
