On Friday night I went down to London to see Less Than Jake again. I know it’s not really that long since their “6 Albums in 6 Nights” epic, but this gig was at the Camden Barfly. It’s a tiny venue, and I wasn’t going to miss the chance to see the band somewhere that size.

I was fortunate enough to get a photo pass again, so was down the front for the whole set. It was pretty cramped, and the lighting was mostly red gels – that meant lots of burnt out / posterised images, and problems with focussing. It was pretty busy too, which seems to be happening a lot lately.

Set-wise, there was a decent mix of stuff from the new album “GNV FLA” along with old favourites, but it would have been nice to have longer than an hour from them. There seemed to be a lack of banter compared to other gigs, but that could have been due to the short set time / curfew; either way it was still a lot of fun, and well worth the trip.
