DMA's
DMAs- what an awesome band to see live. With all the energy of their Australian roots, the band cleverly combine a sense of 90s Britpop inspiration to create amazing anthems. Their vibrancy filled the packed LCR on Tuesday night as they kicked off the UK leg of their tour in Norwich.
The night was characterised by the pure enjoyment felt by the crowd. This wasn’t the DMAs first time in Norwich and every time they play here, they’re sure to bring a truly infectious vibe with them. The Aussie’s have created an interestingly unique sound, fabricated with clear influence from bands like Oasis and Pulp, with definite hints of their Australian origins.
Frontman Tommy O’Dell’s relaxed demeanor made his distinctive vocal performance seem totally effortless, inviting the audience to join him on a journey of the band’s eclectic discography. Highlights from the night were Tape Deck Sick and of course Delete, which sent fans swaying. All in all, DMAs proved to be another incredible Australian band who make for a really fun night.

There was very little messing about, charging through song after song, so that when the band departed after an hour, having knocked seven bells out of the drumkit, it felt like only half that time had passed.
Offbeat Collective

Eight members, eight different instruments, one cosy pub and the distinct and addictive sound of reggae and soul.

Whilst Dream Nails may be self-proclaimed musical witches, their love for their audience is clear to see.

My only disappointment – he didn't do The Laughing Gnome, or Little Fat Man.

I entered the LCR ready and willing to worship at the altar of their magnificence. Sadly, it didn't quite work out that way. At times this felt less about composition and more akin to ritual.

Suede erupted onto the stage with a vitality that belied the tour’s halfway mark. At Norwich’s LCR, nostalgia and goth-tinged reinvention collided in a set that proved they’re still gloriously unpredictable.

Sundara Karma are truly one of those must-see bands who simply will not fail to set alight everyone’s indie rock flames.

UK Foo Fighters
Tribute bands are often hit or miss but it’s safe to say that when the UK Foo Fighters played Norwich’s LCR on Saturday night, it really did feel as though Dave Grohl himself and the Foos were right before our eyes.

If the Aussies ( Hockey Dad) do decide to return to Norwich in the future, I couldn’t recommend them highly enough for a hugely enjoyable night.

Her voice reminds me of Lucy Rose, and her honesty and bravery in delivering the new songs in particular was both endearing and moving.
