| Duke Special and Stephanie Dosen, King Tut's Wah Wah Hut, 9th Feb |
[Feb. 21st, 2007|01:23 pm] |
I love king Tut's, easily one of my favourite venues especially when it's packed as it was for this gig.
I first heard Duke Special when the wife and i saw him support The Divine Comedy last year and, after some urging from ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) ianmcdonald I bought Songs from the Deep Forest. As anyone who's been checking my Last.Fm Profile will know, it has been getting heavy rotation.
The support was the the American singer/songwriter Stephanie Dosen. Glasgow crowds can, in my experience, be quite rough on support acts, but they also know when they are hearing a good one. I picked up her CD at the gig and would be happy to recommend it.
Duke Special was fantastic, playing cuts from the album and some of the older stuff from the EP's. I took my sister with me as a belated Christmas present, she'd never heard any of his stuff before, but was completely blown away. I never expect to hear a live performance completely replicate the CD, but in this case the performance was even more passionate. My only grumble would be that this would probably be my last chance to see him in such an intimate venue, surely greater success beckons.
He told us he's coming back to Glasgow in May, can't wait, I only hope it is after the election rather than before. |
