I am prepared to not hate the Proud Galleries tonight as a) the i hearts are always worth seeing and b) it's free.
I don't mind paying extortionate prices for dull drink if the gig is free. My total outlay tonight is £5 for a glass of drinkable red wine, so pretty good value.
The i hearts have been a good band since their first gig (which I was lucky enough to see) at the Roundhouse in June. Today they have some new songs. I think the new set is more coherent. Whilst each individual song has always been good I think this new set shows all of them off at their best. Previously I have been a little distracted by the changes of instruments (mainly by CC) whereas everything seems to run together better now. Overall I would say the i hearts continue to go from strength to strength.
