Fickle Friends- O2 Academy 2 Liverpool
Wednesday 21st March 2018
Last night I went to see Fickle Friends at the O2 Academy 2 in Liverpool. I went with Kelly from work, I was suppose to be going with Holly but she was out of the city working so couldn't go with me. We went after work after a drink and some food at Wagamamas.
I've never been in Academy 2 it's small and cosy! We were right on the barrier touching distance from Natti!
Doors were late 7pm. We turned up at 7 but there was hardly anyone there. I know they're new but thought there'd be a bit of a queue.
The first support act came on at 8pm. They were called Haarm and they're from Liverpool! They were really good, I really like them and will definitely be listening to them.
The second support came on at 9pm they were called Valeras. Not really a fan of these, they were good though.
Fickle Friends were doing an album signing at HMV Manchester Arndale at 6pm so they had to make their way back to Liverpool after it. They didn't come on till 10:05pm. We're definitely getting old cos our backs were killing from standing up.
They played a 12 song setlist which we didn't think was gonna be possible as they come on stage so late and the curfew was 11pm.
They opened with You Are Someone Else which was the perfect song to start the set then went into Brooklyn. They ended the set with Glue, encore with Hello Hello and Swim. They were so good and the setlist couldn't have been better! They're so much better live. Natti's voice is amazing I love her!
It's been a long time coming but their debut album You Are Someone Else finally came out last Friday. Full of catchy hits. I thought they'd released all the hits like Glue and Swim but then there's Bite on the album that needs to be released. If you like Alphabeat and Paramore's new stuff like Hard Times you'll definitely love Fickle Friends! If you get the chance to see them live you should go see them. They're going on tour again in October but sadly aren't coming back to Liverpool.
I wish I stayed after the gig to meet them but I'd been in work since 7am & was in at 7am the next morning so just had to get home.
Hopefully next time come back to Liverpool soon!!
Hopefully next time come back to Liverpool soon!!
It was suppose to be sold out last night but it definitely wasn't but it should have been. Tickets were only £15 and worth it, amazing band who are going to do really well with their debut album looking like they'll make the top 10 tomorrow. Go buy & listen to the album they deserve it.
