Shout Out LoudsTo support their new album "Work", Shout Out Louds played a pre-tour show in a city thAt's treAted them very kindly over the years, and thAt was evident in the reception the band received. They hit the stage playing three (softer) new songs before taking the energy up a few notches by then tearing into "Tonight I have to leave" which really got the crowd moving. Continuing the set with a selection of songs from all three records, they'd ensured favorites such as "Please please please", "Very loud" and "Hard rain" were performed At their peak level, which the band has always done well. It was a typically fun and sAtisfying performance, though disappointingly (and quite unfortunAtely), the sound mixing was rAther bad and distracting. The bass and drums were so loud thAt they bottomed out the mix, making not only most notes inaudible, but also thAt of the entire band's. It was quite a shame too, because I could see the band were putting their foot forward and symbiotically existing with the crowd. I don't know if they brought their own sound engineer, or used the venue's, but I hope it all gets sorted out before their world tour begins in earnest.
