Future Of The Left - ULU, London


Fresh on the heels of ATP I decided to go and see one of my finds of the weekend again. Playing at a students union I was expecting cheap beer and rubbish sound quality. There was neither.
First on were Pulled Apart By Horses whose cocky and energetic live show couldn't disguise the fact that their music was below par.
Future Of The Left took to the stage with the first song from their upcoming album 'Travels With Myself and Another' which set the tone for the evening, sending half of the crowd into a huge mosh pit. The new songs went down a treat and even though most of the crowd hadn't heard a lot of them they loved it. The old favourites such as 'Small Bones, Small Bodies' and 'Manchasm' were really impressive and their stage presence was just something you need to see. By the time 'You Need Satan More Than He Needs You' was played I was to be found dancing like an idiot right in the middle of the pit. They ended the gig by completely dismantling the drum kit whilst the drummer was still trying to play. Future Of The Left put on a great show, I could literally watch these guys every night, very cool.
