Well the award for first band with 2 reviews goes to *drum roll*... THE BOOK CLUB!! Well, technically not... i saw Frankie T 2 days in a row but i did both gigs in one review. So that don't count.
Any who... This gig was a club night gig so was a late one. Book Club went on stage about half 11ish. No support. Therefore this will be short un'. This was however in the main room of The Leadmill. It'd been a while since a gig in this room, first one of 2010 if my memory is correct. SO the band came on stage to a medium sized crowd and a pretty small cheer. 'Hi's and 'thank's straight away then into 'Justice for the 96' followed straight into 'Anarchist'. To be honest the entire set list was pretty standard Book Club.. mainly due to the fact there is only 1 demo and 1 EP to go off. Half way through the set they did spring a new one onto the crowd that seemed to go well. Before playing their most famous song 'Somewhere Near Oxford'. Which to my surprise i turned round to see the crowd had grew and quite a few people sang along. Throughout the night Joe winked, nodded and smiled at various people in the crowd (presuming he knew them) which gave the gig a more homely, unsigned feel. Ending the set with the newest released single 'Wheelbarrows for Wallets' they went off stage with a big thanks to the crowd. Another fine set from Joe and the gang. A true decent home grown band. God Bless Sheffield.
Peace
