The Vaccines rose to
prominence last year with the superb debut ‘What Did You Expect From The
Vaccines?’, which was hugely popular in England and pretty well regarded on
this side of the Atlantic, and expectations were high heading in to this show.
This really was a short, sharp, rocking gig, lasting no more than an hour in
total, including encore. At the start of the set the band really gave the
impression of going through the motions, and not really putting in too much
effort, with the lead singer in particularly jovial spirit.. However after a
superb delivery of the epic ‘Wetsuit’ the bands performance really kicked up a
notch and the crowd were noticeably more into it. With their debut album only
lasting 37 minutes a short show was to be expected, and the band mixed it up by
going through a number of new tracks which were all rocking with a distinct
punky, ramones-esque feel. There wasn’t a lot of banter with the crowd, just
delivery of their excellent rocking stuff. This band are undoubtedly talented, produce
a great sound, and are excellent live when putting the effort in. They really
could be big, if they want to..
