The Grates, The Vasco Era, The John Steel Singers



Last Night I went to the peninsula lounge and witnessed 3 awesomely different bands. First was The john steel singers who remind me of sgt pepper era beatles, as a six piece they were the most interesting band of the night playing tracks from mini lp(The beagle and the dove) and upcoming e.p(in colour).
The next band on were the vasco era who i've managed to see shitloads of times through circumstance at first and then through actual want. They always put on a lively set and they once again managed to entertain the rowdy punters with a solid set of songs from 'miles' and 'oh we do like to be beside the sea'. I'm not 100% sure but it sounded like they had 2 or so new songs with backing vocals from lanky bassist Ted. I enjoyed these songs the most as well as a heartfelt acoustic cover of 'sukafish' by Sid.
The Grates were awesome, i'll be honest i didn't watch the whole set cause i couldnt be bothered enduring tall dudes shimmying in front of me but i saw a good third of the set and managed to see the end of a brawl that broke out. Patience is a born entertainer and makes daggy dancing look like break dancing.

im going to review the beagle and the dove tomorrow or some time. its fucking schweet. peace y'all
