Idlewild
finally took to the stage, ever quiet Roddy Woomble
(singer) showed great stage presence both in-between and
during
the songs, while still remaining humble and calm at all
times,
this was really picked up on by the audience..
Instead of the regular
"back-drop"
stage décor, Idlewild used a projector screen
to further portray the "feeling/mood" of their
new
tracks, this worked really well even though it was kind of
distracted from the band. Although in the long term it made
the songs stick better in my mind.
Not to my revelation all the old songs
where
the real crowed pleasers, this was all kicked off with
"Little
Discourage" as the night unfolded the band
performed
a eclectic play list ranging from their most recent release
" You Held The World In Your Arms" to old
favourites Such as "When I Argue I See
Shapes"
In the middle of the set Rod Jones (guitarist) and
Roddy Woomble played a new acoustic track, this was
one of the most successful tracks of the night proving the
vast diversity of the band.
All in all, the night was a success,
there
wasn't a disappointment in the whole show, and the new
album
is perhaps a little more grown up than their old set, but
don't be put off if their live performance is anything to
go by "The Remote Part" will be a diverse
treat!
