P E A C E // L I V E

The Queens Social Club in Sheffield (with interior very similar to The Phoneix Club, who said wall streamers belong in 80s American Proms, eh?) was pretty packed on the last day of January this month. Peace are baaaaaack!


Humbly walking onto stage, following their brilliant support band (The Moon), Peace played a beautifully put together setlist extraordinarily well. 

Higher Than the Sun 

Follow Baby 

O You 

Gen Strange 

Lost On Me 

Money 

California Daze 

1998 (Delicious) 

Bloodshake 

Float Forever 

Sugarstone 

Wraith 

Someday 

Lovesick 

World Pleasure

You got everything that you'd expect from a Peace gig; sweat, crowd-surfing, bold prints, 60s dance moves, stage invasions ,cider, synth...sweat. Although, I would happily say that Peace kicked off 2015 really well. There was a vibe in the room that meant that even the casual 40 year old men, at the back, who aren't sure why they're there were atleast tapping their feet and at best dancing like John Travolta. 

The best songs live were by far 1998 (Delicious), Follow Baby and Wraith, for me. Each of these songs was played closely to the studio finished version, but with a raspy live vibrance that some bands fail to execute well.

Casually walking through the crowd  before hand, the band are utterly humble and obviously unaware that it's a matter of months till the world will be bowing at their feet.
