A great Sunday night at Norwich Arts Centre with Vanilla Kick, The Lost Levels and Sennen - three bands that aren't easily pigeon-holed (always good as far as I'm concerned).
Vanilla Kick were first on. Lead singer/guitarist Calum had a sore throat, so his vocals were not as good as usual. However, the band were still very good. Look out for their EP launch/headlining performance at the Waterfront on July 29th (with the wonderful Uh Ohs supporting).
The Lost Levels always manage to produce lots of melodic/electronic/noisy guitar music. They did not disappoint tonight. Why have they never released an album?
Sennen have been a favourite band for ages but the last time they played at the Arts Centre I felt that they were just FAR TOO LOUD!
Thankfully, this time the sound guy kept the volume down to just "very loud", they played several new tracks, the cover of New Order's "Bizarre Love Triangle" was in the set (yes!) and the whole set was excellent.
As all three bands were excellent tonight, I think this has to be my gig of the week so far (but there's another six days to go, of course!).
