"We've
been a band for around 10 years, we didn't think we'd ever make an album"
Luke Barham, front man of Stagecoach declares. Tonight is the release party for
the Surrey band's debut record 'Say Hi to the Band' and spirits are high, even
if we are in a basement in Dalston.
Recent single
WorkWorkWork opens the evening’s proceedings in true pop-rock style and the act
who have been compared to Weezer set off to a roaring start. Whilst the crowd
participation is limited to singing along to previously familiar material such
as We Got Tazers!, the mood is high and its clear that their time as an act has
glued Stagecoach into a tightly knit live group.
Highlights
include Threequel and new single Action before the willing crowd is permitted
to a rare Stagecoach encore which features an ushering of Alcopop record boss
JackPop to the stage to play mandolin. As the band themselves would say, Like
Woah!
