Wolf Alice - Rescue Rooms, Nottingham
Dylan Whatley
Formed in 2012, Wolf Alice have so far
released two EPs, both highly praised.
With debut album 'My Love is
Cool' set for release on June 22nd,
they are currently playing new songs from the album on a UK tour. I got
the chance to see them at the Nottingham Rescue Rooms and it was one
good show.
With
support from Crows and The Magic Gang, but unfortunately I missed Crows
but did arrive in time to catch The Magic Gang's set. Shared vocals and
happy sounding riffs reminded me of a Palma Violets for the more
fragile of crowds.
Wolf
Alice came on to their first single, 'Fluffy' and the crowd was going
for it from the first moment. Ellie Roswell's haunting yet fragile and
angelic vocals filled the room as the crowd got more and more lively.
Then the band went into 'Storms' which is featured on their second EP,
'Creature Songs'.
The
new songs definitely lived up to my expectations and they flowed well
with their older songs such as, 'Blush' in which the room was quiet
besides from a few people who were talking very loudly. After seeing
'Blush' performed live at Reading Festival 2014, I was hoping the band
would play 'Wicked Games' by Chris Isaak, but unfortunately they didn't.
However,
the encore included two songs and it started with personal favourite
'White Leather' and finished with 'Moaning Lisa Smile' and everyone was
going for it. The bassist, Theo, crowdsurfed at the end which is a Wolf
Alice tradition now.
Overall, they put on a fantastic show and I am more
them looking forward to seeing them again.
