Fei Comodo opened the show, and they did a pretty good job of it. Des­pite some tech­nical fail­ures, they were able to show­case some of their songs to an audi­ence who were likely to be recept­ive. Unfor­tu­nately, they never really seemed to have the crowd on their side, so even though they played a good set, they weren’t rewar­ded for their hard work.

Dave McPh­er­son, lead singer with InMe, has an abso­lutely fant­astic voice, and I was dis­ap­poin­ted that it didn’t come across very well. I’m not sure whether that was because the equip­ment wasn’t up to scratch, or whether he finds it dif­fi­cult to sing live. How­ever, the music was power­ful. It came as some­thing of a shock that InMe chose not to play much of their old mater­ial. Since Joe Mor­gan left, and he was replaced with Greg McPh­er­son, obvi­ously the band have under­gone some pretty big changes. The look of the band has changed as much as their sound has, and it wouldn’t be fair to expect Greg to cover for his pre­de­cessor, but it still felt a bit unset­tling. The good news is that the new mater­ial is abso­lutely top notch, and at a time when so many older bands are releas­ing mater­ial that’s get­ting worse and worse, it’s refresh­ing to find a band that break that tradition.
