The indie girl’s guide to…Wild Beasts Red Eye instore
Wild Beasts
Red Eye Records instore, Sydney
Wednesday, 3rd February, 2010
What better way to spend a Wednesday afternoon then by finishing work early, and heading to my fave record store in the city – Red Eye Records - to see a special acoustic performance from visiting British band, Wild Beasts.
The crowd gathered slowly but by starting time there was a sizeable bunch of fans filling every nook and cranny of the store. Half the band was on hand to perform a short acoustic set – singers Hayden and Tom – whilst the other members mingled amongst the crowd. The set included my current fave All The King’s Men from last year’s Two Dancers and their early single The Devil’s Crayon.
It was really wonderful to hear two amazing voices in such an intimate setting. The band remarked that they were worried that anyone would turn up at all, but I don’t think there was ever any chance of that happening, as these guys are gathering fans everywhere they go!
PS - On the train home after the performance, I was reading MX (the freebie newspaper they give out at the train station) as I always do, and noticed a familiar face from the instore:
Ben from Wild Beasts made it into the paper…too funny!
