The sun may be out and festival season may well be upon us, but there are still plenty of great gigs happening in venues across the country. Tonight, a group of clued in music fans file into the Waterfront Studio in Norwich for one such gig!

Grassroots venues such as this are a proving ground for young bands and tonight fans will get to witness three such groups looking to insert their names into the hearts and minds of attendees.

AMOURETTE

First up on the compact stage is the local opener Amourette who bring a refreshingly reckless abandon with them. The four-piece have a youthful exuberance which brings their punky rockers to life and gets the venue ready for what’s to come.

RAD PITT

Soon enough it’s time for our next act to hit the stage; or at least some of them! Rad Pitt have journeyed from Essex to make an enormous racket of hypnotic math rock marvel.

Spreading themselves off the stage and onto the dancefloor, the band conjure something of a joyous chaos to the delight and/or bemusement of those in the venue. Their set is tremendously entertaining and just pure riotous fun. Where else would you want to be on a Wednesday night?

Finally, we arrive at our headliners snake eyes who have been making a name for themselves with their support and festival slots in recent times. A steady stream of infectious singles has momentum on their side and this headline tour is a big step for the duo.

They kickstart their set with the brilliant ‘lean’, and recent Full Pelt Single of the Week ‘jar full of wasps’, and already they have the crowd in the mood for a good night. The duo proceeds to deliver just that with a selection of rocky riffs and poppy hooks.

Having previously performed live as a three-piece, its noteworthy that the duo don’t miss a beat and are still highly captivating throughout their time on stage.

Fellow newer tracks ‘hdtv’ and ‘hug me’ are highlights in what is a superb performance before popular tracks ‘scuttlebug’ and ‘skeletons’ receive a highly appreciative response from the audience.

You can’t help but leave the venue excited about what the future holds for snake eyes, who have proven themselves tonight as one of the hottest young bands on the scene.

When looking at the evening as a whole, you can’t fault any of the bands, the venue is a great and life is good. Live music brings incredible joy to many music lovers, and you really should head to your local venue. And if any of these bands are playing? You’d better be there!
