Love Is All
Live @ The Astoria, London, 02/16/07
I sort of pity Love Is All tonight, being the support band at a sold out London's Astoria to a 2,000 strong audience who's there to check out the great Regina Spektor can't be the easiest thing. Especially since the two artists are quite far apart musically. Whereas Regina Spektor is spellbinding in her own right with her extreme charm and fantastic songs, Love Is All is more of "put the dancing shoes on" type of band. But with a set list consisting of some old favourites, mixed with a few new songs (that sounded ace), they came out on top and they appeared to have quite a lot of people in their thrall. They're coming back to play in London at a more intimate venue in the middle of March. I'm really looking forward to seeing them properly then.
