It may have been two years since their last album but "The View are still on fire". I went and saw them on the 25th of January at King tuts in the first of four dates on their mini tour - to showcase third album bread and circuses.You could feel the excitement at this packed-out gig to hear the new tunes . The music did the talking. Bounding on stage without a word, they launched into the well-known Glass Smash to get the crowd going. But soon they were thrashing about to what will become the first single release from the new album, Grace.There was a slight dip in tempo for b-side Clowns before it picked back up for Wasted Little DJs, 5Rebeccas and skag
But the song "Underneath The Lights" really caught the crowd's attention as Kyle looked for the feeling he gets when he hears his Scottish fans sing along when he's performing. Kyle and bassist Kieran, who also takes a shot of the vocals, chatted to the crowd between songs. But with the thick Dundonian jargon that is unpalatable to take in . Whatever it was, the music kept the crowd happy and a demand for "one more tune" brought the boys back on stage for Face For The Radio. They played seven songs from the new album and Bread and Circuses is as packed full of hits as the two previous albums.
Mix that with an hour-long, high-energy set from the guys, followed by a pint with their fans afterwards it was an all round brilliant night and I would definitely recommend it.
