Last Live in 2018 Telfords Warehouse, Chester, 30 November 2018
Band Members Dominic Allen (drums) Chester has never been the best of live pop/rock cities but that is now changing with both established and newer venues beginning to attract class acts from far and wide. Telfords Warehouse has for a long time been the city’s best and most consistent live venue with tonight’s show ending what has been a great year of live shows. The Tea Street Band from Liverpool seem to have arrived with many of their local fans and even before the band take to the stage some are already dancing! The night’s show is part of the band’s Frequency Tour which promotes their most recent and highly praised album (which made our Best of 2018 list). Just before the band slide onto the stage fans desert the bar to fill the separated performance area. And it’s not long before the music and dancing begins in earnest. Synth-infused dance beats coexist with indie guitar pop to form a distinctive sound with melody and tightness of performance dominating the show. Smith’s vocal are pitch perfect while Allen’s drums form a rock solid musical foundation. This was a great show from a team of experienced and skilled players. Biography Recent shows have been ticket only and have caused twitter storms and sweaty dancefloors. The last few years has seen the band touring with Inspiral Carpets, Jimi Goodwin (Doves) and playing shows with The Charlatans. They have also played the main stage at a host of British Festivals including V fest, Leeds & Reading, latitude, Wickerman, Festival Number 6, Kendal Calling, Sundance Film Festival Utah, after the release of their debut self-titled album in 2014 on Liverpools, Baltic Records.
