Gig report: Flaming June @ The Portland Arms, Cambridge

Band: Flaming June

Venues: The Portland Arms, Cambridge

Date: 17/08/12
Audience: A handful of young people, who were very nice to us

Set: Stop The Ride, Nerves Of Steel, Pyscho, Rumplestiltskin, Sweetest Weakness, Wednesdays & Weekends
Notes: After playing at the BBC with The British IBM, I dashed to the other side of Cambridge to play a duo set with Louise at the Portland, where we were supporting the chap from incredibly popular emo rock band, INME. As we realised, INME is the kind of band that young rock fans like, and they probably weren't our target audience. As always the venue was sweaty, we were the third act on, quite a few people just needed some air so we didn't have the biggest of crowds but those who stuck around really seemed to like us, even sold a couple CD's afterwards. A short set, but nice and tight, a worthwhile show to play.
