The Struts performing their set closer and hit, Could Have Been Me, opening for Queens of The Stone Age on The End Is Nero tour.
They were high energy! I had never seen the Struts live before, but they definitely seem like the kind of band that cut their teeth underground, learning how to work a crowd and not giving up until they'd managed to impress them, you can see how they got to where they are!
All the same, they do also seem a quintessentially UK 2010s indie band, don't they? Radio X, The Courteeners, lots of 'woah!'s, the Jack Grealish curtain haircut. A Welsh flag on the drumkit to top it off! (Drummer is from Wales)
But they were good fun, their crowd interactions were exciting, I could get into a few of their songs for sure! Not all entirely what I would listen to on my own, but I can definitely appreciate what they do. Singer Luke Spiller came on stage and said, tonight it is our job to make sure you're all well warmed up for Queens of The Stone Age. And that's what we'll do!
That's exactly what they did, great work lads.
