 First
up tonight are the Marmozets, a five piece band
from Leeds, I'm not sure what genre this is but
random noise in the form of a song might be apt
with bits of melody thrown in every now and a
again to break up the random noise. Everything
is off kilter off trying to be edgy, it sounds
like they are all playing different songs with
the female vocalist screaming over the top like
an angry poet. This just sounds bloody awful,
and the crowd don't seem all that interested either,
only seeming to respond when prodded and probed!!
 Main
supports tonight are Don Broco a 4 piece punk
rock band, they are much better and seem more
comfortable this time with the new songs and the
consistency is there for all the set. I'm still
enjoying the clean vocals and the set seems similar
to the one I saw earlier in the year, they are
a lively bunch which is always good to watch,
they played a few songs off there upcoming album
which sound superb and catchy.
I haven't seen the used since 2007, so I have
been looking forward to this for some time since
the tour was announced, Burt has a bad stomach
tonight, doesn't seem to affect his performance,
they open their set with one of my favourites
take it away it sounds lively  and
just superb, followed by the bird and the worm
again another of my all time favourites. The used
have started off very strongly. Tonight's set
seems like a best of, which means people get to
hear all their favourites.
They carry on with the fantastic Listening, the
excellent Kiss it goodbye, I come alive, I caught
fire another superb track , they seem to be playing
a fair few from the in love and death album, probably
my favourite album, and a few off their new album
too, the band is putting on a great show high
energy tonight.
They continue with the likes of, Hospital, the
taste of ink, the fantastic all that I've got,
it sounds just top notch, great song to sing along
too. The crowd are having a ball of a time. The
best of me and paralyzed close out this really
great main set.
After a short break, and to great fanfare they
come back on to bang out a few more great tunes,
the encore consists of blood on my hands, the
super catchy and heavy pretty handsome awkward
and night closer a box full of sharp objects (with
a smells like teens spirit intro) fitting as the
band were on sharp form tonight. Great performance.
Marmozets 1/5
Don Broco 3.5/5
