"We’ve grown as musicians and it’s a different show now. It’s not five kids jumping around and climbing on everything. It’s just one killer rock‘n’roll show.”

“We’d go into the studio to make a punk record, and that record ends up taking a year and a half to make. People pretty much forgot about the band. Then the second record comes out on Island and doesn’t sell a hundred million copies so Island drops you."

It’s the bunny act that gets people’s attention, but the songs that hold it.

They take to the stage ten minutes late, but within seconds of launching into Mr Brightside there is not a person in the crowd that isn’t in raptures over The Killers.

Brendan Hitchens reckons it was the year of The Smith Street Band.

There’s no doubt The Living End is superb live, but it’s the songs they will be remembered for and Roll On is full of those.

"The previous record of [sold out shows at] the Corner was five shows,” Cheney gleams. They haven’t just eclipsed the record, jointly held by Megan Washington and Matt Corby, they’ve smashed it.

At 51:45 it’s their longest album and, to accommodate, the banter is kept to a minimum tonight.

Though White Noise is far from The Living End’s strongest album, they deliver it with such passion and verve that it’s hard not to get caught up in the moment.
