15th December<\/p>\n

with Reflekter<\/h2>\n

Reviewed by Trevor Locke<\/a><\/p>\n

The one support band, at tonight’s show, was pretty good. Reflekter<\/strong> from Nottingham. A four-piece band with two vocalists. A lot of good music and compelling sounds. Top lads. They have a large number of followers on Facebook. They are appearing at the Beat The Streets event (in aid of homeless people) in Nottingham, on Sunday 27th January 2019 along with a host of other bands.<\/p>\n

By nine o’clock the hall was pretty much full. Given that the venue holds 450 people, the turnout was remarkable, for Leicester. Gazelle<\/strong> is a band from Leicester. It’s lead singer is Ryan Dunn. The band’s page on Facebook has 2,126 followers. Musically, the band’s influences stem from Oasis<\/strong>, The Clash<\/strong>, The Courteeners<\/strong>, The Stone Roses<\/strong> and so forth. Tonight was Gazelle’s<\/strong> single launch for Finger on the Trigger<\/em> which can be seen on Facebook<\/a>. This is the band’s second single.<\/p>\n

As far as I know, the band goes back to April 2017. That was when they released their debut single Nothing Ever Happens<\/em>, on YouTube<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As I listened to Gazelle’s<\/strong> music, I thought of Kasabian,<\/strong>\u00a0and then Oasis.<\/strong> The Rolling Stones.<\/strong>\u00a0Ryan Dunn (lead singer), I seem to have been listening to him for ages. I remember him being in The Tennysons<\/strong>. I saw them at The Soundhouse in 2011.<\/p>\n

Big powerful voice. Stage presence. Strikes an indelible image. It was not hard to see why so many fans love this band.<\/p>\n

It is very significant that a Leicester band filled one of our bigger venues on a wet Saturday night in the peak period of office Christmas parties. A good name for a band. The downside of the name is that there are many other bands who also have it.<\/p>\n
