FM - Bingley Arts Centre 18 March 2013
Some members of the
team here at Rockgig Towers can claim to be far more avid fans of FM than
I can. I have seen the band once before, play an acoustic set at the old Queens
Hall in Bradford (along time ago), and I did see Steve Overland in his previous band Wildlife
(a very long time ago), but this was my first electric FM experience.
The band opened up
with Tough Love from the new Rockville CD, and straight from the off the catchy
rifts and chorus get under your skin and you find yourself clapping and singing
along before you know it, it was as if I’d seen the band 20 times before. I
have to say that the rockier songs appeal more to my tastes and highlights for
me where Don’t Stop, Only Foolin’, Hotwired, Bad Luck, Burning My Heart Down and
the brilliant Cross Town Train.
A great show, from a
group of gifted and talented musicians, lead by a fantastic vocalist.
FM even found time for a quick Status Quo impression |
Also a quick word of praise for the venue and it’s
staff who were both excellent.
