City Calm DownWith a supporting line-up that includes Woodes, IV League and The Creases, City Calm Down's show at The Tivoli promises to be a momentous night.
It's electric to start and we continue to feel the buzz of excitement throughout the polite performance from main support act, Woodes (Elle Graham), whose warm presence and unique vocals fill the room. Graham is undoubtedly a talented performer.
The crowd eagerly welcome City Calm Down as the Melbourne band start their set with Distraction/Losing Sleep and follow it up with Blood. The electrifying lighting design definitely has wow factor and amplifies both band and audience energy. City Calm Down's frontman Jack Bourke is sparing with the between-song banter. Continuing the fast-paced theme of the night, the band leave no gig-goer unenthused with their performance of Blame - the first highlight of the night, others stemming from Rabbit Run and the most engaging track in the set, Your Fix.
Thanks to highly engaged fans, crowd-surfing and this band's undeniable talent, City Calm Down deliver a show of flair and vivacity. The success of this event can easily be measured by the volume of the crowd's applause, which remains consistent throughout the entirety of their show. With such a spirited set coming to a close, both gig-goers and band members end their night on a high note with the tour's namesake: the title track from their most recent album, Echoes In Blue. It's a long track, but exactly the kind of song required to end a riveting night with City Calm Down.
