Rough Trade rearranged gig

June 24th, Youth Hotel had planned on doing a Headlining gig at Rough Trade, all funds going to British Heart Foundation, with Distant Blue, Talking to Frank and Kynch supporting. Unfortunately the night only ended up in disaster as the power cut along the whole street, giving them no option other than to cancel the show.
The boys in Youth Hotel were more than determined to rearrange with Rough Trade and set a new date to host a gig with all the bands again, for free!
Despite Talking to Frank not being able to perform, they still succeeded in having their well deserved show.
Kynch band opened up the show and got the crowd ready for the rest of the bands. They made quite the impression and got the crowd warmed up for what was about to come.
Distant Blue took the stage next, by starting their gig with lead singer Ed telling everyone to get off their seats, resulting in a member of the audience dragging a chair to the front of the stage and staying seated for majority of the set. As always, the pop-punkers managed to get the whole crowd jumping, mosh pits starting, and even a chair get thrown backwards with somebody on it. The impressive set ended with Ed standing on the drum kit, swinging his guitar around only for him to throw it on the floor to finish. I later discovered that this wasn't purposeful and he'd lost control of it, which then ended up with him damaging it. Fingers crossed it gets fixed before their headlining Bodega gig on the 22nd!!
Youth Hotel got their well deserved stage time, getting chance to show off both their latest releases, little miss sunshine and candyflip. After an amazing performance, the boys went off stage, only to come back, ready to play their first ever encore, which was nothing other than a cover of Arctic Monkey's I Bet You Look Good On The Dance Floor!
It was a brilliant concert and I can't wait to see all three again, hopefully soon.
