3OH!3 – Heaven, London

• 9th Jun 2011

’Camp’ doesn’t quite cut it when explaining this evening’s going ons. A gay club in the middle of London town and the campest, cheesiest pop group with any street cred. As you could guess it was brilliant!

Well, it was OK, for once I actually showed up for a support band, having been a new fan of Hyro da Hero, but he couldn’t make it so we were left to listen to the short one of 3OH!3’s 90s music playlist. Ok, I loved it, and probably enjoyed it more than I would have a support band, but it’s still not quite the point… that’s what Spotify’s for.

3OH!3 came on extraordinarily early (I guess the show was child friendly and it was a Sunday) and bashed out almost every song from their album, 2 new songs and a couple from their EP. That is how I could finish my review but actually to give them credit it was epic. Too much filler, although the banter was great, too much meaningless chat and introductions to people we didn’t really care about, but each song came out just slightly under produced so you could tell it wasn’t mimed/all computers. The sound in this place was excellent though. Never been here before, and no match to the Astoria (RIP ☹) but a fantastic venue, layout, stage production, sound and lighting (have I forgotten anything that is involved in gigs?!) with a two song encore, nerdy Colorado born Sean and Nathaniel produced a show stopping, would-be-great-of-a-drunk-evening-at-a-festival worthy performance.
