Belsonic 2010 - General Fiasco
Describe in a tweet: It's ok to be shy sometimes.
What happened: There's no doubt the band's crowd are a fundamental element to their live display; but faced with a considerably older crowd than they are used to, proceedings are a lot less explosive than a usual General Fiasco show. Frontman Owen Strathern seems uncharacteristically nervous for the first half of the set, but once he takes centre stage with 'Sinking Ships', he begins to really open up. Then when the band return to the stage the momentum receives a much needed gear change.
HMS Fiasco: As always, Strathern's vocals are pristine, as perfectly demonstrated on 'Dancing with Girls', and a riotous rendition of 'Rebel Get By' ends the set on a high note...
Sinking Ship: ...but it seems nerves got a hold of them too early, and the lacklustre first half sadly set the predominant tone for their performance.
Belsonic rating: 6/10
