Gig Review: All The Young + The Minutes

This was my first ever, of many to come, gigs at the local venue King Tut's Wah Wah Hut (you can read more about venues here in an earlier post). 

So, last night I dragged one of my flatmates out with me to the gig to see All the Young and The Minutes. Two other bands, Sonic Thrill and Blindfold, were playing too but due to travel problems we unfortunately missed them. Next time I will ensure to leave in plenty of time to get there!

Walking down the stairs into the small venue I already felt a sense of excitement to experience the one and only King Tut's. Once inside with our tickets bought and drink in hand, we headed up into the room where the gig was being held. 

The picture below is one I took on my Iphone 4  (sorry about the quality) whislt walking up the stairs where the loud music was coming from. I loved reading the stairs and thought that it added a unique touch to the venue.

The Minutes had just started when we arrived and immediately we were enjoying there rock music. The three-man band from Dublin, Ireland had us completely engrossed in there music, dancing and looks that before we knew it there part of the gig was done! I managed to ask a few sneaky questions to the band whislt they were selling there merchandize.

Me: How long have you been a band for?

The Minutes: Since 2006... so 6 years.

Me: How did you enjoy your gig tonight?

The Minutes: It was amazing, we had a good crowd who all seemed to enjoy our music whcih is a positive sign.

Me: What are your gig plans for the next few months?

The Minutes: We are touring parts of Europe next month; Germany, Holland, Belgium and Switzerland. We can't wait to tour and continue to promote our music.

After the my small 'interview' with The Minutes and buying another drink, we seen the lights darken again meaning All The Young were about to start. There music was calmer rock than The Minutes and some of the songs reminded me of the band Kings of Leon.

I was really impressed by All The Young's clothing style as the lead singer kept on his dark sunglasses and a heavy coat throughout the full gig whilst the other band members also wore dark clothing. Being a member of the crowd, I really felt that the band engaged with us and kept us pumped up by there music and energy.

I can't wait to go see another gig at King Tut's after enjoying myself so much last night!
