Reviews / Live

The Hi-Fi becomes a sea of hair as heads thrash back and forth and stage divers dive, flip and crash land into the first few rows, especially as the band hit The Art Of Partying material.

It’s a great set and hopefully the next time the band tours, word of mouth and a weekend night will see them playing to a much larger crowd.

It’s always a privilege to witness a strong and talented group of females rock a stage, and despite slight difficulties with sound and feedback throughout the set, Beaches have been no exception to the rule. Rock on girls!

Perhaps that’s just the power of this great band, and as the lights come on it’s not surprising at all to find the room full of smiling faces.

Black Isn’t Black closes the encore, complete with projections of a trampolinist. With the lyrics “Placed on this planet, darkness at the door” hanging in the air, the audience dopily exits into the clear night air.

The second single from Pond's forthcoming album is called 'Xanman', and it’s out today worldwide. The official video for the track has just been released.

Katie Noonan wove an intimate and down-to-earth performance where she engaged harmoniously with the eager audience, concluding with a gentle 505 community choir singalong of her hit song, Breathe In Now.
