Indie band Bombay Bicycle Club brought their chart-topping album, So Long See You Tomorrow, to a sold-out Rock City last week. Having previously played the venue in 2011, the London group marked a fine return to Nottingham with a set based heavily on their latest release.
New tracks such as Luna and Whenever, Wherever go down a storm with the excited audience as lead singer, Jack Steadman, is accompanied by a set of talented backing vocalists. Fan favourite, Always Like This, is also given an extra twist with the inclusion of an upbeat brass section.
Not famed for their outspoken side, the band do little in the way of crowd interaction, instead letting the music do much of the talking. Bombay, never afraid to reinvent their sound, constantly invigorate the audience with an array of styles – from the riff-heavy indie rock from their debut record to a new, world-music inspired sound. This is attributed to Steadman’s travels around the globe whilst touring and his growing affinity with Asia. Feel’s Indian-infused riff, well received by the packed Midlands crowd, is a far cry from anything done before by the young four-piece.
Fast rising up festival undercards and with an ever-growing fan base, Bombay Bicycle Club are ready to hit new heights with their fourth album – and at Rock City, they’ve come well equipped. They may have seen the world, but now they’re ready to take it over.
