Supergrass Live @ Southampton Guildhall
Review By Seige
Firstly; Happy Birthday boys!
Supergrass is 10, as the title of their new 'Best of...' album proclaims.
Man, that makes me feel old. And yet, at the same time, Supergrass never fail to make me feel eternally youthful.
All the hits were here, as would be expected from a band touring a Best Of album.
Although the new single 'Kiss of Life' had people turning to their mates, nodding in appreciation and proclaiming 'Ooo, this is a bit...funky!'
The album 'In it for the Money' - (inexplicably overlooked by the record buying public, but once proclaimed by Dave Grohl to be his favourite album ever) - provided the best songs of the evening.
The band opened with the title track from 'In it for the Money' before tear-arsing through 'Richard III'.
Gaz Coombes intermittently apologised for his voice being 'weird', although we couldn't tell the difference.
It must be said that the crowd - often a difficult-to-impress bunch in Southampton - took a while to get going.

Jo Whiley: ilikemusic because... It makes me laugh and it makes my cry and it gets me out of a stress if I’m in a stress, and, if I’m in a good place then it will make me in a better place. It’s all about the emotion, it’s all about the feeling where music takes you to and what affect it has on you.

simon f baker: ilikemusic because... you can transcend the confines of the material world with it, it's probably better than shagging in fact. There is virtually nothing more satisfying than when a load of chords and words suddenly come together into a song ; suddenly everything in life seems to fit and make sense once more.
lolo: ilikemusic because... music is where some people display affection, show emotions and actually showing off who they are and their thinking. it is special unlike anything cos it goes out and never comes in back but in others.
