Tyketto - Camden Underworld 30-11-11
First up in
front of a very respectable size crowd for a Wednesday night was Sondura. A 4
piece from London they hit hard for 30 minutes with a greater crowd response
coming after every song.
Heavy yet
melodic with a real great groove it left everybody wanting more and with their
second cd due in 2012 one definitely to watch.
The same
couldn’t be said of Fighting Wolves. On the wrong bill their shouty hardcore
played with their backs to the audience turned everyone off.
Tyketto were
back with their original line up for the first time in 15 years, and how London
loved it. Over the course of 90 minutes we witnessed some real magic.
Led by the
quite brilliant Danny Vaughn (vocals/guitar) who at the age of 50 just gets
better with age. His comment about being 50 and his hair is all his own but the colour is by L’Oreal brought the house down.
Here’s what
they played:
Lay Your
Body Down
Strength In
Numbers
Nothing But
Love
End Of The
Summer Days
Love To Love
(new song but on the reissue of Strength In Numbers)
Rescue Me
Burning Down
Inside
Wings
Meet Me In
The Night
Sound Off (new
song)
Seasons
Standing
Alone
Catch My
Fall
Sail Away
Encores of
Last Sunset
Forever
Young
How could
they go wrong. Playing 8 songs off one
of my favourite cd’s of all time and ending with Forever Young - Stunning.
With
returning guitarist Brooke St James playing it very much like the cd’s, the
purist’s who felt PJ on the last tour was a bit modern, everyone was happy.
With Michael
Clayton (drums), Jimi Kennedy (bass) and Bobby Lynch on keys laying down a
great groove at the back all eyes were on Danny who gave us his all for every
note and letting us join in at every opportunity.
With a new
cd called “Dig In Deep” due on Frontiers in April/May and a tour to follow the
one very new song gave us all hope for the future.
As Danny and
Brooke left the stage to rapturous applause Danny gave Brooke a kiss.
We are glad
he is back too.
Stunning.
12/10.
