Ocean Colour Scene may not move many records as they did at the stature of their 'Moseley Shoals' distinction in the 90s, however they demonstrated Glasgow's Barrowlands simply why they keep on offering out venues here and there the nation as one of the best live acts around.

Their current tour is a festival of the fifteenth year since the arrival of that collection. The mediating years have seen the band's broad claim blur sort of as their mix of 60's style Rhythm n' Blues and Folk Rock has tumbled from design, and the takeoff of Damon Minchella from bass obligations, supplanted by Dan Sealey and Andy Bennett on bass and cadence guitar individually, may have been seen by a few as indicating the demise chime for the one-time Britpop top picks.

Notwithstanding, the change to a five-piece appears to have revived the imaginative squeezes inside the gathering, as prove by a come back to structure with a year ago collection discharge 'Saturday', and in light of their Barrowlands execution on Friday night, it surely hasn't hurt their live sound.

This was my 2nd time catching Trampolene and wow, what a night! All 3 support bands were superb warming up the atmosphere nicely for Trampolene. Spoke with Jack Jones in the bar beforehand and managed to grab a photo with him. What a great bloke! Was down the front for the entire Trampolene performance and I've got to say it was the best gig I've been to in a long while. These boys are going places. An energy packed set complete with Jack crowd-surfing while still managing to play guitar. Alcohol Kiss and Storm Heaven are absolute bangers. Loved every minute. Can't wait till the next time!
