On Tuesday the 30th of October upcoming Birmingham band with one terribly anti-google friendly name, Peace played two sold out shows at The Lexington in Islington.
Both shows featured five-piece Carousels as support, with double fronted vocals they presented some interesting material but with the sound being off it was impossible to figure out a word they were saying.
Peace played a set featuring the entirety of their EP Delicious as well as Follow Baby and a few others for 45 minutes. The band all seemed very relaxed with Harrison thanking everyone for coming out when they’d normally be ‘chillaxing in bed’ at the in-between stage of four/five in the afternoon/evening. Fortunately the sound quality for these guys was much better although I found the backing mic to be a little loud. The vocals perfectly matched the EP and they were very good live in all. Admittedly we were a pretty chilled crowd, given the absence of a barrier it felt like a very personal affair. But given a night-time show perhaps and some tequila (the bar was plastered with soft drinks only signs) it would have been very easy for the place to have been rocking considering the tunes being played.
Last song Bloodshake featured a confetti canon shooting out hearts and stars and as we filed out onto the street you checked your watch and realised it wasn’t late at all and that you didn’t have to worry about catching the last train home, a strange affair but that’s the deal with matinée performances, they are a little wierd.
