I hope I didn’t come across too negative in the last post on DCFC, as I really did enjoy the gig… but maybe it was a Friday night after a long week, or the venue factor, but I really did enjoy the encore!

I spent a lot of the journey home thinking about the support act.  Selkirk’s finest, Frightened Rabbit!  (Gareth would be so proud.)  They’d been on my radar for a wee while now.  Have listened to Backwards Walk quite often lately!  Something catchy about it… but they didn’t play it.  What did impress me however, were the beards!  3 out of 4 had quality beards.  Beards to rival Iron & Wine!  They played with energy and enthusiasm, as well as a great deal of sweat (from the beards!).  Great songwriting, strong accents… seems to be a familiar theme (Glasvegas?).  Hopefully, their strong underground support will carry them on to greater things, without losing any of their appeal on the way.
