Lake Komo – 26-07-16
Different kind of
night as I headed to The Adelphi Club for this show, first there wasn’t a guest
list yet but they still let me in (sign I come to often). I contacted the tour
manager, great guy to set up the interview I had been given, they invited me
down to Weatherspoon’s but it shut down! You know it’s bad for the economy when
one of their pubs shuts anyway, sorry side tracked. After meeting up with the
band near Weatherspoon’s we walked to an Egyptian restaurant which is actually
one minute walk from my house, the service in there was slow with one person
cooking got annoying. Back to the music I chatted with the band about their
planned big Lancaster gig which they filmed and recorded maybe for future release
they said, watch this space. We also did chat about random questions and their
new song Milwaukee which was not named after the city or anything to do with the
state of Wisconsin. It was used as a name for the song from someone’s jumper in
the recording studio. Random song name yes but random song, no, the song is
powerful both in composition and delivery. 
In terms of the live
show, unfortunately I missed the supports due to lake Egyptian food but having
seen both local supports before, Wake Up In Vegas & Yasmin Coe I would
recommend them both. As for Lake Komo’s set, it is much better when you know
the songs, which I did this time around. They delivered their new and older
songs brilliantly as a tight well knitted unit, gliding from what can only be
described as one hit to another. There could be the criticism that they lack
the stage presence to interact and relate with an audience, however, they are
still in the forming steps as a band and nerves can come out. Brilliant live
sound none the less and I still feel very lucky to be seeing this band playing toilet
circuit tours. As I am sure next year this band like Clean Cut Kid and Blossoms
will be hitting high into the charts and playing sold out shows across the UK.
DO NOT HANG ABOUT, Lake Komo are just like the
name suggests, perfect and immense.
