Miles Kane at the Electric Ballroom

After me experience at the O2 the previous week it was nce to get  back to normal. Andy again had top bail so I went on my own, got chatting to some lads down at the front, all very convivial.  Electric Ballroom is a nice small venue compared to the endless wastelands of the O2 in Greenwich.

Opening act was Bustard Bustard Bustard, who apparently are Welsh but didn't sound like it. Lead vocalist had proper personality and chatted to the audience in the confident way that most support acts don't manage. His Mick Jagger strut probably did him no favours. It has been done, and done by someone with more to swagger about. Still I would happily see them again.









Miles Kane also doesn't lack confidence. This is fairly unsophisticated guitar music, but it just feels really good, quite exciting. Some might find Miles cockily annoying, but I like his brashness. And the audience could have sung along to "Don't forget who you are" all night.
