Walk The River

SO this review is from May 2010. I found it again.

Lightspeed Champion - Bodega

Tonight's gig was a showcase for “Life is Sweet! Nice to Meet You” -Lightspeed’s latest album.

His performance was relaxed and fun whilst still being seamlessly precise, even despite the rough and ready approach taken by his technicians.

Even after he broke a guitar string on his first note, he continued to scurry around the fret board like ants after jam. There was quite a mix of fans in the crowd, ranging from the young superfans practically sat in his lap to a middle-aged balding bloke at the back singing along to every word, eyes shut.

Lightspeed seems to have found himself with this new record, he’s letting his amazing guitar solos and personal charm do the talking as opposed to him just being ‘cool’. This change has a better chance of attracting fans other than those who tick the box ‘pretentious’ and the new ones will undoubtedly stay with him because of it.

And this is a picture from said gig.
