Everything about this band suggest dark and depressive, but the set started on a up and stayed there for the entire night. Starting out with Farewell to the Fairgrounds and ending with Death, with the crowd singing every word as though they were on stage themselves doing backing vocals. The show was perfect, but then again I am being bias (not just a little but a lot) as I think the band is that great.
Bathed in white light and smoke and swathed in all black, The White Lies kicked off the night with a very spirited version of Farewell To The Fairground. A very lively crowd danced and sang from the start of the show which lasted for about 70+ minutes. They played pretty much all their material and even threw in a Portishead cover (The Rip). These guys don't frolic about the set much. They fuel the instruments, and add a fancy piece of drumming, to a very enthusiastic audience who do the dancing for them. These guys are superb. Glorious rock.
I haven’t been back to this venue since the Ritz days. What a night! Just like the days when the Cure, UB40, B52s, General Public, Red Hot Chili Peppers (just to name of few of the bands I can remember) performed on the same stage. The White Lies were incredible live. Unlike many of the artist of today, this band can rock and had a great exchange of energy with the audience. True artists!
