Gig report: Flaming June @ The Cornerhouse, Cambridge

Band: Flaming June
Venues: The Cornerhouse, Cambridge
Date: 10/08/12
Audience: Busy, cheery
Set: Stop The Ride, Nerves Of Steel, Rumplestiltskin, Psycho, Little Love In A Cruel World, Song For The Broken Hearted, Sweetest Weakness, Wednesdays & Weekends
Notes: Sometimes playing an opening slot at a venue you've played at a million times before after an exhausting week of creative tomfoolery doesn't seem like the most appealing way to spend a Friday evening, but last night's gig at the Cornerhouse was really lovely. Can't really put my finger on why - it's just one of those situations where things just work out, played this as a duo and Louise was in proper fiery form, and I just felt really up for it. The songs felt punchy, snappy, angrier that normal, the venue was incredibly humid but it felt good to sweat out a lively set. It shouldn't always be about the audience, but we started the show to a near-empty room but finished it to a near-packed one, everyone there seemed to be into what we were doing, we truly won some people over last night. A positive evening.
