The Futureheads @ SWX

Saw The Futureheads in Bristol last night and it was a blast.

Most fun I've had at a gig in a long time. Great songs, Gower chat, a couple of quiz questions. The venue was alright too, first time in SWX, not baking, decent sightline from the raised bit on the side, £7+ for a pint though.

But The Futureheads were great, even the one acapella track was a bit spesh and they finished on Man Ray which was an absolute delight, windmilling away I was.

So yeah, it's a hard recommend for me if you can catch them on the rest of their tour. If you do go, swing by the merch stand as there's a rare-ish 7" for sale for £5 - Broke Up The Time (Field Music Remix), which according to Discogs was a "Giveaway 7 inch white label at King's College Gig 29th November 2007".

And the band may also show up there, I handed my fiver to Jaff the bassist for my copy.
