The Academy venue is gaining a good reputation for hosting great acts, when I heard La Roux was playing I jumped to grab a ticket. I moved even quicker when I learned that Ou Est La Swimming Pool were opening.
The UK trio have adopted a second vocalist for live shows.. Good idea. The synth 80’s like soundscapes entertain the growing audience.
The guys sounded great but I thought it quite funny the two singers didn’t seem to know what to do with themselves, in a complete blokey kind of way. So the resort to walking to and fro across the stage. I really like these guys, I’m an eighties kid 🙂
They finished with Dance The Way I Feel, the main frontman throwing in lines from the recent hit ‘I left my heart in Tokyo’. Good Times!
