Sat 12 May \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Alkaline Trio, Dave Hause, The Dear And Departed<\/a>
I LOVE ALKALINE TRIO. I also love Dave Hause, who supported. I thought what I heard of The Dear & Departed was quite nice.<\/p>\n

Now, this gig would have originally been on Guy Fawkes Night last year\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 but Matt Skiba\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s foot got run over by a truck or something so obviously it had to be rescheduled and the best date to do it was the day before my birthday. Clearly, they love me. <\/p>\n

The Dear & Departed were on earlier than I was expecting so I only heard like\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 the last 3 songs of their set. They were awesome enough that I was crushingly disappointed to discover they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d sold all their CDs already and had to console myself with a Dave Hause T-shirt. I know, I know.<\/p>\n

Dave Hause however was just as awesome as I was expecting. If a tad unnerved by the quiet crowd. I reckon we were all a bit dazed from the sunny weather during the day. Totally explains it. Randomly, in the last month I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve managed to see Dave perform three times \u00e2\u20ac\u201c first at the Twas the Night Before Wembley gig on 12th April before Frank Turner\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s awesome \u00e2\u20ac\u00a6uh\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 Wembley gig (did I write about that one? Possibly not). Then there was 11th May at the Black Heart annnnd of course, this gig supporting Alkaline Trio. Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t ask me to remember what he played \u00e2\u20ac\u201c I only know that I could sing along to only half of them, which clearly means that I need to listen to the album more. He also played two new songs \u00e2\u20ac\u201c one of which (the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153shine on\u00e2\u20ac\u009d one) he played back in April and I really love. Dan Andriano came out to sing with him for a bit before disappearing off for a costume change for later (really). Every time I see Dave perform I wish that I had thrown caution to the wind and stayed for the whole of his gig at the Windmill in Brixton last year. Although on the other hand, poor weather and dodgy trains aren\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t things that go together (coupled with a longer than expected walk to the train station, I know, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m kind of lame)\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/p>\n

Then it was time for Alkaline Trio. Who proceeded to saunter on stage and announce that in the interests of saving the planet or something, they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d not printed a setlist and that it was going to be an all-requests show. I prefer to think that they decided to do it because they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re awesome. If inviting a logistical nightmare \u00e2\u20ac\u201c I have no idea how they managed to hear any of the requests (that and Matt can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t remember some of the songs \u00e2\u20ac\u201c oops).<\/p>\n

Clavicle, Cooking Wine, Queen of Pain, This Could Be Love, In Vein, Mercy Me and Blue Carolina were all highlights (but is it a highlight when you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve included nearly half the setlist?) as was Emma, with added Dave Hause.<\/p>\n

Radio was, as always, a cracker of a song to end the set on. I think I would have liked to hear Sadie, Crawl and Dine, Dine My Darling or perhaps Love Love Kiss Kiss. Or just more songs where Dan took the lead because he does have a lovely voice, even though Matt\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s songs are pretty kickass. In fact, I think I could have listened to them for a couple of hours more. All in all, it was probably the most fun gig I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve been to recently.<\/p>\n

Randomly, either Alkaline Trio have a high ratio of attractive female fans or drinking gives Skiba the horn. Either way, it was entertaining. <\/p>\n

That aces setlist:<\/p>\n
