Live Review: The Computers, Outcry Collective and Chickenhawk – Clwb Ifor Bach, Cardiff - 25/03/2010

As I walked into Clwb Ifor Bach, something told me that tonight’s gig would be a low key affair. The legendary Cardiff venue was using the downstairs room, a room in which tonight’s openers ChickenHawk were mid way through their set, entertaining around 20 people. It’s a shame because they did sound pretty good, and for the couple of songs I managed to catch, they held my attention well and impressed me enough at least to check out what they had to offer on record when I got home.

Main support is Outcry Collective, a band that have gathered quite a bit of momentum recently, having just confirmed a slot on the upcoming Young Guns tour in May it seems as if everything is going well for them, but tonight just isn’t their night. Don’t get me wrong, it wasn’t as if they were bad, but the crowd just seemed completely uninterested, anything that frontman, Steve Sitkowski said went down like a lead balloon, no matter what he did to try and liven proceedings up, it just didn’t work, and as a result, I think their overall set suffered. That being said they were reasonable enough, stand out track was ‘Saviour Stranger’ I love that song anyway so to see it live was always going to be a success for me.
