The Vaccines

I only knew one song of this band but went because my friend wanted to go. To my surprise I actually had a really good time. There was such a lovely relaxed atmosphere where we could just stand in the same spot and enjoy yourself without being worried about what’s going on around you or being distracted or bothered by it. It was really nice seeing everyone of all ages singing along and enjoying themselves.

The lead singer seemed to love himself but he was transfixing to watch. He was parading around on the stage in very striking bell bottom trousers, looking as if he hadn't grown up from the 80s. All of the rest of the band seemed to be hidden in the background (the guitarist seemed quite shy).

 The music is really feel-good and it was really easy to pick up the melodies and choruses to the songs to join in singing along.

Caulder The Lending Rooms 31.05.19 The songs were extremely musically created. T he songs progressed through lots of layer, you were watching the texture build.  They were thoughtfully composed with build ups and drops. The tunes had a balance of being exposed as well as loud and expressive.  A memorable part was where the first half of the last song was played on acoustic guitar and recorded on a loop which was then played back in the second half, layering it with electric guitar and different drums. They were technically constructed and the phrases had dynamic range. There were some talented funky improvisations. The songs have a balance of being organised while DIY and experimental. Their set was varied, each song was quite different. They had such control over their sound. They were extremely in-sync, carrying out well coordinated stops in their songs. They could completely fill the room and created such a full sound out from 2 musicians.
