Face Of Cheam

Upon checking the Brixton Academy website I was relieved to see that the Subways were not on stage until 9.45pm, allowing me to be able to watch all of the England game. The first half was spent in Clapham North and a pub of the same name. To win money on England these days you may as well do a half time full time bet starting with a draw and then an England this was no exception. Having walked towards Brixton at half time I found a back street boozer called the Duke Of Edinburgh. Nice enough too though there was a bit of a queue at the bar with only two bar staff on.
Onto The Subways then. A three-piece from Welwyn Garden City, with a male guitarist and vocalist who remained topless throughout the show and a lovely female on bass who kept her kit on! The set was as you would expect from a band with only two albums, though surprisingly ‘Oh Yeah’ as used in the football advert for the sun newspaper, was played early. Their latest album is excellent and Shake Shake followed by I Wont Let You Down were both highlights. The show predictably ended with RocknRoll Queen (as used in Rocknroller movie) and all in all this was a good rock show.
