Odeon Beat Club
>> Nice N Sleazys
>> No.1 Son & Popup
>> 30th July 2006
Odeon Beat Club finally have a full album under their belt set for release later in the year, and tonight in nice n sleazys they launch debut single Last Gasp with some delightful support from two of the other hot Glasgow bands around just now.
No.1 Son kick off the evening in style with Paul McGlaughlin's wonderful voice just managing to climb over the popping from the right hand speaker and settle nicely in the warm comfort of the audience’s ears. His appreciation for being included in tonight’s line-up apparent as he and the band cover Odeon Beat Club’s Being Realistic with their own personal touch. Popup follow, with their usual tightness, energy and attitude that has led them to be one of the most talked about bands in Glasgow, and with songs like Lucy What You Trying to Say? and Poison Apple, it’s hard not to understand why.
And so to the main event. Odeon Beat Club might not be you’re classic NME cloned guitar band, but man can they write a tune. Blasting off with their single Last Gasp, the band roar through the set with a passion and pride – showing that the years of hard work have not phased them one bit. Burn the Flag is one of many highlights, and Sleazys shows it’s appreciation for the band’s tight set.
So the future for Odeon Beat Club looks bright as they head off to the big smoke after this for a couple of shows, only time will tell if the rest of the UK can fall in love with this band as much as Scotland has.
Last Gasp is out NOW!
