The Morning After

Quiet, retiring and shy are three words you would most definitely not use to describe local band The Morning After.

Their livewire performance at the New Variety Club was a heady mix of indie, punk and rock from down the ages, incorporating classics such as Sweet Home Alabama, 500 Miles and the more recent American Idiot.

Their newly acquired drummer was particularly impressive, treating the crowd to an epic solo, and generally bringing character and panache to the trio despite having the flu'!

If there were any complaints, the performance did become quite disjointed towards the end, but due to the energy and personality exerted by the band, they always had the full attention of the crowd.
