Athlete at Brighton Centre

Three hours before showtime I receive an email telling me that I've got tickets for Athlete. Cool. I'm not a big fan, I only really wanted to see Gemma Hayes (below) who is supporting them. But I'm happy to give them a chance... well, their recent songs from the Tourist album must be the reason they're playing a venue as big as the Centre. Wires is head and shoulders above any of their other tunes and Joel actually sings rather than slurs his vocals. I don't mind the new anthemic songs, or the ones where they rock out a little, but the older stuff... well, frankly it's rubbish. Oh well, the bar is still open.
