This Glasgow show was a milestone moment for the band - Not only was it their first headline show north of the border, but it was also their first show since the recently announced departure of old drummer Mike Bennett. The band’s new drummer, Euan was given a warm welcome by the fans regardless, and was made to feel at home on stage. This was also a hometown show for Euan, making his first appearance with the band just that little bit more special.
The band played fan favourites such as “24 Hours A Day”, “Back To Your Place” and “Trouble” always crowd pleasers, while showing a more mature style and approach to their music in the new songs they played. A stand out song for fans was “Breathe”, showing a complete contrast to the bands usual upbeat, cheesy pop style of music. I think this is the start of a new era of music for The Shades, which is more appealing and relevant in today's music scene and should see them achieve even greater success.
