Rue Royale
I'd noticed RR were playing a small show in Liverpool and with loving their album decided to pop up and see them. I got off the train at Moorfields, oh my god! I'd forgotten it was Aintree Races, Grand National weekend too. Liverpool was swarming with drunk, loud mutants. I had planned to get something to eat before going to the View2 but there was no chance every eatery was full to the rafters. I ended up eating at an Indian on Bold St, which was crap.
Got to the View2 just gone 8 and there were quite a few people there though mostly the entourage of the 4 artists playing. As usual they were late starting and the first two acts who were straight forward acoustic singer/songwriter types played to a room full of chatter and laughter. This pissed me off a little as I was trying to listen a little more attentively than the rest of people there.
By the time Rue Royale came on it was 11pm which meant I had 10 mins before I had to scarper for the train. I managed to catch 2 songs and very good they were too, I just wish they either started earlier or I could have stayed longer.
I ran out at 11:10 onto the throng of now even drunker mutants and got my last train home. This was a shitty night, see they don't all go great.

Damn that sucks! At least you caught a few songs but still. I guess there's always that one show that goes wrong. Mutants!
Hey Hey,
Thanks for coming out to the show at the view2 in Liverpool. We're very sorry for the late start. That was a bit of a strange night for us as well. The crowd didn't even seem to notice we were there so, it's nice to know that you were (even if it were only 2 songs:).
Keep an eye out, hopefully we'll be coming back through the UK this Autumn.
Best,
Brookln
