The Seen

Catching up with brief descriptions of some previous gigs...

One of the John Peel tribute gigs was held at the Purple Turtle near Mornington Crescent.

I'd never been to this venue before and The Northern line wasn't running so I nearly didn't go. When I arrived there were police vans outside and many people had been thrown out or taken away. I missed the cause of it all.

I'd gone to see Lily Fraser, this time she was with her full band and they were great as usual, but I've already written about them so I'll concentrate on the last act of the evening The Seen.

They are a four-piece from North London. They call their sound Sonic Soul and it is an interesting sound not easy to pin down. They combine funk guitar with swirling guitars with a solid rock rhythm section. I was reminded of Blink (but thats probably just me). All in all one of the best bands that I've stumbled upon.
