Lacey EP Launch

Lacey EP Launch

The Bodega, Nottingham

June 22, 2013

Tonight marked the launch of Lacey's third EP and they had decided to launch it in style, with an intimate show at the Bodega in their hometown of Nottingham.

Starting off the night was James Dalby, a solo artist whose set included some great cover versions of Chaka Khan's 'Ain't Nobody' and R Kelly's 'Ignition'.  James had an incredible voice and got the crowd in the mood for the rest of the night.

Next up were a band I had never heard of before called Red Sky Legion, who have an alternative rocky sound to them.  They had great energy  and a great sound.

The third band of the night were Leopards, a female fronted band from Manchester.  Lead singer Jenna sounded great and their upbeat catchy songs make me think that we will be seeing more of them in the future.

Last band of the night were headliners, Lacey which feature Graham on main vocals and bass, Josh and Pete on Guitar and Dave on drums. 

Starting their set with 'Hometown', which is the first song on their new EP 'Outlaws', they started as they meant to go on, and had the crowd in the palm of their hands.

Other songs in their set included 'No one will remember your name', 'Contender'  and their cheeky cover of Ellie Goulding's 'Anything Can Happen', which I personally prefer to the original.

Finishing their set with 'Burning Out', Lacey left the stage leaving the crowd wanting more.

Lacey did not disappoint either as they returned to the stage for 'Lights Out', (from their first EP 'What Use Is Wasting Time'), which they announced they would be playing for the last time ever (I'm gutted as I really like that song) and 'Let It Go', from their second EP 'Chapters'.

Lacey have a unique sound, with strong catchy guitar riffs and deep lyrics. They also have an infectious energy and enthusiasm and you can't help but love these guys.  They are the nicest guys you will ever meet and I'm looking forward to seeing a lot more of them in the future.
