So, last night I went to see Enter Shikari at Rock City. Overall it was a pretty good gig, although I’ve felt the after affects today!

They were supported by a Dub-Step group called True Tiger, who suprised me. I’m not a fan of Dub-Step at all, but they did a good job of getting the crowd pumped. Throwing in a few Enter Shikari remixes, they were a good beginning to the proccedings.

The Devil Wears Prada were next up. Now, before a few days ago, I had never heard one of their songs. So, like most people do in prep for a gig, I downloaded one of their albums. Got to say, they are amazing if all you like is “GRAAAAGGHHHH *insert heavy guitar riff* GRAAAAGGGHHHHH” for an hour and a half. If you don’t, they’re utter shite. However they did put on a good stage show, jumping around and putting a lot of energy into their performance.

Enter Shikari weren’t quite as good as I was expecting, they got quite repetetive during the middle of the set. I think they made a mistake by not playing as much older stuff. However, they ended on a high, which is the most important thing, ending with a massive sing-a-long to Juggernauts.

Verdict: An entertaining, but painful night. Good times.
