Engineers - Three Fact Fader Launch Night, Bush Hall, 10/07/09



This event marked Engineers first gig in over two years and despite such a long absence they pulled off an unforgettable show. The venue was absolutely rammed, with many people struggling to find a decent spot as so many people were , you can tell this was a gig fans had been waiting (very patiently) for. The band themselves seemed quite humbled by the fact that so many people had given their time out to check out Engineers and they certainly didn't disappoint and loved every second of the gig, with lead singer Dan Macbean bounding onto stage with a huge grin on his face.
This was the launch night for their new album 'Three Fact Fader' they did showcase a lot of new material which the crowd seemed to love, despite a majority not having heard them before, tracks like their most recent single 'Clean Coloured Wine' and the droney 'Does It Feel Right' went down really well.
The sound quality was amazing with each corner of the venue drenched in their blend of Synth laden Prog. This is most certainly a 'live' band, with new tracks 'Three Fact Fader,' 'Emergency Room' and the showstopper 'The Fear Has Gone' taking on a whole new life on stage.
The looks on people's faces after the show said it all. The two year gap was well worth the wait.
