Title: Concrete Lake - Summer's End "Wow moment"
Post by: Pedro on October 10, 2011, 02:30:24 PM
Hi,
Just a brief note to recommend you check-out this band. They blew the roof off Summer's End this year, bagging the first ever opening band encore.
The lead guitarist Luke Machin (should that say machine? he's insanely talented) and Dan the similarly brilliant bass player had already appeared with The Tangent on the day before but I don't think anyone was prepared for just how good all of the band were going to be. This was a bunch of early twenty-somethings playing some really good sounding, intricate stuff.
One to watch for the future.

There's a few demos on their Facebook page - I thoroughly commend them to the house...

Yes, Concrete Lake were ball witheringly good. They're playing The Peel this Thursday if anyone happens to be drifting by that way. Luke the guitarist deploys some of the best guitar gurning ever.

I totally concur with Pedders review, the guys blew me away! I think if their album had been ready for purchase they'd have made a killing!
I thought Luke was very much like a young Francis Dunnery in the It Bites days, and on checking out Luke's FaceyB page it seems that indeed Mr Dunnery was something of an influence, there's also some pics of him on stage with Frank... I'd like to see a widdle-off (excuse the phrase) between those two!
