Temples // Brudnell Social Club Leeds

This evening I went to the famous leeds venue, Brudnell Social Club, to see the band Temples. The Brudnell is an amazing venue, like working men's club and the only place you'll find Alcoholics and Hipsters in peaceful cohabitation. The gig room at the Brudnell filled up well this evening, with many people already waiting outside before doors opened to get into the gig. Extremely different from when Splashh played a week before and me and my friends were the only ones there when doors opened!

Support band was a band called Telegram (https://www.facebook.com/teletelegramgram), and they were fit the perfect appearance of Indie bands, long hair and shockingly tight jeans. They were lively on stage, which is always great to see for a first band, and they had a similar yet a bit more rocky sound to Temples.

Temples played an excellent set, and remind me why they're one of the best up and coming bands at the minute. Their short set was, unfortunately, punctuated by the fact that their Guitarist/Keyboardist's amp stopped working halfway through their set. However, they carried on, and the fact that their songs didn't sound remotely different leads me to believe that a second guitar may be superfluous in their music! They played 5 currently unreleased songs, which went down almost as well as their 5 released singles and their B sides. The song that stole the show for me was Ankh, a B side. If that song is a reflection on what their album will be like, then I can not wait to hear it! Overall amazing gig, and I came away with an overwhelming need to go out and buy some face glitter and a tambourine.

side note. Bass player looks EXTREMELY like Bobby Gillespie
