The band pulled it out the bag! The venue on the other hand was a disgrace. No organisation, no communication, no stewards and no care in the world. After a massive mix up with guestlists, entrance doors, tickets and opening times, The Arches venue has lost all credibility in my book. Once in to the gig, I didn't think about it again and let it irritate me, so concentrated on the show and the opening acts...until My Passion graced the stage.
These boys know how to play live. Every song is a burst of energy and they just don't seem to stop in the slightest, even slower songs and newer ones not heard off the new album yet still has an edge and the ability to get the crowd moving and partying. And extra live theatricalities like covering themselves in gold body paint doesn't hurt either. They also know how to please their fans. They jumped the barrier at the end of the show and started a circle pit covering everyone there (myself included) in their paint, which afterwards they showered off to go out dancing leaving the rest of us go out with them looking like we don't know how to apply fake tan...
A ll in all a fantastic night due in every single part to the headline act who know how to treat paying customers...their Fans!!!!!
