A couple of weeks ago, I went to see The Cribs at Kentish Town’s Forum. For some reason, I remember seeing their first support act who were… to put it simply… awful. I’m afraid the female singer probably shouldn’t have been singing and some of the other band members looked like they’d rather be elsewhere. Fortunately the second support act (Adam Green) was much better getting the crowd warmed up for, what would be, a very energetic performance. He was quirky, witty and bouncing all around the stage.

The band played their set right up to the Forum’s curfew, leaving it strangely without an encore. It definitely wasn’t needed considering how high energy the entire set was. The floor was heaving from all the people jumping around and there was definitely no chance anyone was going to get cold inside with all that body heat. The performance was much better than what I was expecting, mixing in new songs with old songs and just being very engaging with the audience from the very start. A good way to spend a Thursday night out.
