I love Lafayette as a venue, which was part of the reason for picking this gig. And I have always liked Supergrass, so here was a great opportunity to see lead singer Gaz Coombes in an intimate venue showcasing stuff from his new solo album plus stuff from his previous very decent one too.
One thing with Lafayette is that it is a very anonymous venue. This is the front - basically if you didn't know it was there you would think it was just a bar
I have a preferred spot here too, which for once s not down the front but on the front balcony upstairs. The trouble with the front is that you are so close you are virtually looking up the lead singer's nasal passages. But its small enough venue that the balcony is itself not far from the stage.
Gaz was as ever really good. He has smashing rock voice. And looks fine for 46 (although my guess is that the trendy hat covers up a bald patch!). And this felt like a bit of a love in. This small audience were very very keen on him, and he genuinely seemed to appreciate it. Very pleasant gig (although I was surprised at the lack of a support). Super backing band too, although a rather cramped stage for the size of the band. No room for movement!
