Gig Review: The Maccabees

The Maccabees for me have been a band who I've loved ever since getting into indie music they are completely up there for me so seeing them live was like 'a dream come true' ahh. Cheesy I know.

They are another band with new music on the horizon so seeing them and getting to hear some new stuff was really special and let me tell you that it really hasn't disappointed, from what I heard and I still don't know what it will sound like on album but it is sounding so good.
 I shouted to my boyfriend on the night that I 'really like this one' I really cannot wait for the album to come out now!

I think another thing about gigs that makes them really special is when the singer/band interacts with the audince Orlando is a perfect example of that and It was such a nice insight he gave into the reasons behind a song or the way the set was I think that just makes the experience even more treasured. 

I was quite far back at this gig admittedly (I honestly didn't think they could fit any more in the room!!) And I am quite small anyway but when it comes to gigs I am literally a midget but it didn't pull me away any less from the atmosphere from where I was standing I had a good view of Felix anyway ahem. 

The setlist was a perfect mix of old and new and some old that popped up I didn't even expect them to preform like X-ray and Latchmere.

Personal favourites though were 'Feel to follow' 'No Kind Words' and of course 'Pelican' I think they know themselves the songs the fans want to hear the whole time the atmosphere was kept so heightened and there really was this exciting feeling whilst they were playing.
