We went to see The National at the Rescue Rooms in Nottingham last night and they were brilliant. The set mainly comprised of songs from ‘Alligator’ and ‘Boxer’ with each one sounding huge.
Every track they played seemed to take on a completely new feel to its recorded version with huge crashing delayed guitars, a wholesome pounding rhythm section and insane thrashing violin. It’s also frightening to think of how many of their songs have now become absolute anthems.
To top it off half of Leeds was at the venue and it was great to chat to new and old friends from iLiKETRAiNS, Glissando, Vessels, The Old House, Sandman and Drowned In Sound.
While we’re on the subject of Leeds we’d like to say a big thank you to all the Hold Steady fans who were really supportive of us at the Cockpit gig on Tuesday. It was quite scary to have about 400 people staring at us but we had a brilliant time.
