LIVE: Catfish and the Bottlemen - Dingwalls

I was really busy the last weeks. Lots happened and I - of course - went on lots of gigs. One of the bands I really enjoyed were Catfish and the Bottlemen. 

the band: 

Catfish and the Bottlemen are a indie rock band formed 2010 in Llandudno, North Wales. The band consists of lead singer Van McCann, guitar player Billy Bibby, Benji Blakeway on the bass and Bob Hall on the drums. All the band mates are from different areas and got to know each other when they moved to Llandudno. They are signed to Communion Records since 2013 and released three singles: "Homesick", "Rango" and "Pacifier". 

In 2014, they signed to Island Record and the 4th single "Kathleen", produced by Jim Abbiss (Arctic Monkeys, Kasabian, Adele) followed and they are set to release their debut album in the end of this year. They are currently on tour and set to perform over 30 festivals in Europe including Reading, Leeds and Latitude.

LIVE: The Struts - The Kiss EP Launch Party

The Struts, I have heard lots of good stories about their live shows but always missed out on their gigs until last week. On Tuesday Morning, they posted on facebook about their The Kiss EP Launch Party taking place in The Monarch that night. This just sounded perfect to me as I live in Camden and planned to go for a drink with friends anyway. So I forced my friends to go to the gig and it was definitely the right choice. The gig was awesome. Especially the appearance of the band. In Luke Spiller, The Struts are blessed with a frontman who, in his own words states 'I was born to do this. And I'll die doing it."

LIVE: Dead Sea Skulls

I saw them last week at their single launch of  of their new single "I Wanna Buy A Rolex" at the Hawley Arms, Red Light Sessions. They clearly won over the audience and rocked the pub. One of the best new bands I've seen in a while.
