The launch of Home’s first ‘Off Beat’ was a success. The floor laden with pink balloons didn’t stop a mass of supporters get to witness three excellent bands. First up was ‘Etc’, a band who were without their bassist. Despite this the chemistry between singer/guitarist and the drummer provided for an energetic, humorous and personal performance. Light hearted yet still sincerely heart-felt they were a perfect band to start the night off. Next on the list was ‘Couple’, a Malaysian band with a lead singer who also had a sense of humour and an attentive audience. With infectiously catchy riffs and harmonies sang by both male and female vocalists one was instantly aware why this band are making waves across the causeway. Finally, ‘Typewriter’, who clearly had a strong presence of supporters in the room, took to the stage. Picking up the pace and showing a rock stars approach to their performance, they brought the house down complete with lively stage antics. Although the bands had finished, the night was still young. Beat DJs, George, Joe and Ginette took over playing song after song of those indie tracks we all end up singing along to at some part of the night. It’s a shame that the crowd died down after the bands had left, this didn’t stop those who were there to continue jumping and swaying to their impeccable selection of feel-good tracks. More next week!!!
