Republica, All Tomorrow’s Stories, Saint Nevis – The Boston Arms, Tufnell Park
A real old school ticket! I was actually guestlisted for tonight, so I picked this one up off the bar …
Nervously watching the news every day to see how coronavirus is starting to spread around the world, but for now gigs are still going on as usual.
It’s been a whole SIX YEARS since I last caught Republica live – it seems like they do more one-off random small festivals rather than their own gigs, where they’re obviously going to do a much longer set. And that set sounded fantastic tonight, as good as they’ve ever sounded.
The show was an album launch show – although not new stuff, it was for the new deluxe edition of their self-titled debut. And FOUR support bands! I caught the last two, who were pretty good too.
The support bands I managed to catch were Saint Nevis …
… and All Tomorrow’s Stories.
