Bowling For Soup
7th July
Electric Ballroom, Camden , London
Support: Go: Audio, Koopa

 

 

 

 

The dingy walls of the Electric Ballroom ping with the catchy sounds of UK pop openers Go:Audio who have all arms and bodies swinging to their sounds. This band took the support slot of originally booked Stiff Dylans; which may explain their bronze placement to the terribly talent less Koopa. You can’t get more local support than this trio who, apparently, were hand picked by the headliners themselves. Questionable and forgettable battle of the bands has been lost and it is now onto the nostalgic comedies of American Punk originals Bowling for Soup.

Over 14 years this band has only had five mildly memorable hits, but and are still selling out venues, minimal capacities, but sold out none the less. Their middle aged antics do get the mixed crowd laughing, and the mass sing-a-long to The Girl All The Bad Guys Want is impressive. That said the appeal of this Tesco Value Blink-182 still remains a mystery.
