Salad, S*M*A*S*H, Jesuscarfish – The Soundhouse, Leicester

Ticket no 2 – I am sure I’ll get no 1 one day!

Good to revisit this venue after seeing the Darling Buds here a couple of years ago.

Honestly don’t know a lot about Jesuscarfish other than they are “dark, noisy pop” and from Leicester, but they were pretty good.

I know a bit more about S*M*A*S*H. I think this might have been billed as their last gig, I can’t quite remember (I’m writing this up in 2022) but they certainly played it as if it was. Probably the best time I have caught them live so far.

And it’s hard to say what I feel every time I see Salad. Just getting better and better. This is the 9th time I have seen them live and the 7th since they reformed less than two years ago. I stayed in Leicester overnight so I wasn’t in a hurry to leave the venue quickly – it was great to catch up with Marijne, Paul and the band after the gig too.
