Right, first gig of the year and an overdue return for me to The Louisiana, a venue I haven’t visited in quite some time for atmospheric folk popster Kyla La Grange.
Joined by a very tight band who were gratefully modelling the “free shit” they’d received from their sponsors for the night – purveyors of over-priced knitwear, Lyle & Scott – parts of this gig were also being filmed for Channel 4 so expect to see the bouncing hair of Big Jeff on your TV some time soon!
It’s a shame that at The Louisiana the ceiling is so low that the stage level is only slightly higher than the crowd so that even just a few rows back my view was quite obstructed by the people in front of me. On the plus-side the sound was excellent for such an awkward room.
Musical highlights for me were Been Better and Heavy Stone and I was disappointed not to hear You Let It Go but I imagine it’d be difficult to play live. SoundClouds below and more here…
