Wooglie's Thoughts

I went to to see Head Luggage play at the Betsey Trotwood pub in London last night. As I know the band quite well this won’t be a completely unbiased review, but I do get to review them before anyone else does

Their opening song, Walk With Me*, was amazing and a great way to start a set, very rocky (technical music term) and the vocals worked very well. The second song, Just One Kiss, carried on in a similiar way, but didn’t stand out as much to me. As I’m lazy I’m not going to review every song so here are a coupel of other songs that stood out to me: Grace was one of my highlights, a very powerful song and the band seemed to draw me in with this one. The band finished on again two very rock filled songs that seemed to say “I know we did some slower ones in the middle, but we’re going to leave you on a high”. For me the first of the two, Take Me Home, stood out, especially lead guitarist Andy’s riff. No offence to the rest of the band, but if you only had that riff and the vocals, it would still be an amazing song.

I’ve only heard most of these songs a couple of times now, so some of the others may grow on me. Unfortunately they haven’t recorded some of their newer songs, so we will have to wait to listen to them in the car. Check out the myspace and the website for a few song clips, future gigs and some more info on the band.
