REVIEW: The Streets, Norwich UEA.
Published Date:
24 October 2008
The Streets offered their fans in Norwich a set packed full of classics including Fit But You Know It and Dry Your Eyes.
On his new material, main man Mike Skinner proved he has kept his lyrics fresh, sharp and close to the observational as ever.
He whipped the crowd into a frenzy and this performance – despite the ego-soothing displays of machismo – was a brilliant chance to get down to The Streets beats.
A new version of Weak Become Heroes was less mellow than when first released on Original Pirate Material, adding up-beat rock and good bass to the mix.
Kevin Mark Trail lent a brilliant dose of the soulful with his strong and slightly gospel-like backing vocals.
From the frank and funny Could Well Be In, to the latest, thoughtful material on Everything Is Just Borrowed, nothing has been lost in his fly-on-the-wall ability to spin everyday mundane activities into something with edge.
