White Lies and Friendly Fires – live
As Britney was insulting the people of Vancouver I was at a great event just down the road….
White Lies and Friendly Fires, who are both achieving great things in the UK played in front of a passionate audience at Richards. I mainly went to see The Lies and they were up first just before 10 and starting with “Farewell to the Fairground” and went on to deliver an amazing and powerful set – despite a short delay! Friendly Fires followed about 11 with “Lovesick” before running through a non-stop electrifying set which also included “Jump In The Pool” and “Skeleton Boy” – most of it was new to me but I am certainly going to get the album now!
It’s good to see the audience so into the music for “relatively” new bands to Vancouver and the atmosphere was fantastic – not always the case with local crowds!
I am sure when these bands return to BC it will be in larger venues and I hope they maintain the vibe.
