Sons And Daughters @ The Luminaire
Shake It!, originally uploaded by faithmonsoon.
Sons and Daughters are just out of the studio and have finished recording their 2nd album. Follow up to The Repulsion Box. Tonight’s show was a chance for them to preview their new tracks and try them out with a live audience. What a privilege it was to be the first to hear these new tracks - it’s been a long wait for some new material from these Scots but it was well worth the wait.
The new songs are fast-paced maintaining the tongue twisting lyrics from the first album. I spent most of the gig mesmerised by front-woman Adele Bethel as she strutted about the stage stamping her feet and shaking her tambourine.
A few songs from the first album were thrown in for good measure including a crowd rousing rendition of one of my favourites “Red Receiver”.
Support came from Joe Gideon & The Shark, a brother and sister duo from London. He played guitar and bass whilst she played pretty much anything she could get her hands on with a drum technique not too dissimilar to that of Animal.
Check out my photoset for some more photos from the night.

Another random gig with tickets bought just the day before. And what a phenomenal gig to follow-up from Prince @ Koko.
Yet another amazing setlist from Jack and Meg which failed to disappoint. A few of their new tunes previewed - I particularly liked Effect & Cause - mixed in with a lot of the old favourites.
The Rivoli Ballroom is an amazing venue and a typical “White Stripes” choice. A 1950s dance hall with lots of the original features including red velvet covered seats, booths in the bar area and a ladies “boudoir” to boot!

Random gigs are the best…
…especially when it’s Prince playing at Koko Camden. Quite possibly the gig of my life.
Didn’t get any photos but here’s one from ebotunes.
