First time seeing the Belgrave Scandal for a while, and they have obviously been busy in the meantime. They signed a management deal a few weeks ago, so this gig was hastily arranged so that their new representatives could actually see them play live. As well as being busy entering the murky world of music industry business, they also seemed to have been busy practising! It was obvious from the last time I saw them, that the band are much tighter, much more well-polished in playing their tunes, and have been working on some interesting new arrangements for some songs as well.They played a very tight 7-song set, including new songs Same Old Same Old, and The Soho Shuffle, which went down very well with the decent sized audience. The vocals sounded much clearer than I have heard them before, with some good key changes in places, and a much better range of vocals and music generally. The band definitely have the tunes, and seem to be getting slicker and better at playing them, too. Now they have a management deal, next stop is surely a record deal, then to headline the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury. Possibly.
