Tonight, the first of White Lies' eleven night, sold out, U.K tour. Promoting the release of their new album "Ritual."
Taking to the stage following "Crocodiles," one of tonight's two
support bands. With their own brand of San Diego Lo-Fi, noise pop.
Fuzzing their way through their short set.
Followed by tonight's headliners, though when formed in 2007, I’m pretty sure that they were just a trio, yet seem to be obviously breeding rapidly. Yet tonight the audience were in for a treat; what with an airing of so many new album tracks, accompanied of course by some classics, added in-between. Though it has to be said that "To Lose My Life" and "Death" were thrown in very early, into tonight's performance.
Yet their tremendous power making up for these early airings, with new songs such as; "Strangers," "Streetlights" and finale "Bigger Than Us"- their latest single. Building a crescendo of keys, ominous bass lines and punchy power chords. Each song feeling like a round of a heavy-weight title fight.
Bringing tonight's show to an end on an absolute high. With tonight truly setting the bar for what looks to be an absolutely fantastic tour.
