Much has been said of Miracle Fortress' departure in style between debut Five Roses and Was I the Wave? Unfortunately we wouldn't get much of a head to head comparison as the new album dominated the set. As Graham Van Pelt is only touring with a drummer he had to rely on prerecorded samples for much of the music and this back fired off the bat as they were barely a change from the house music that had been playing and the chatty crowd took some time to register that he was even performing. In addition Graham played the guitar and worked the sampler while of course singing too. Personally I am one in the disappointed camp with the change in Miracle Fortress' sound, not that it is bad but it isn't the sound that I'd really gotten into a few years back. With that in mind to say that this show didn't wholly impress or win me over isn't a huge knock - the only 'old' track in the set came as finale and wasn't enough to make it memorable.
Opening for: Shad
