The Streets

The Streets played the last show of their current tour last night at a sold out O2 Brixton Academy in London. They were supported by Brother, a band hailing from Slough, who had been on Sky Sports' Soccer AM show yesterday morning. Describing their music as 'Gritpop' they played tracks from their debut album which is due for release in July, as well as playing their debut single 'Darling Buds Of May'.

This was the last Streets tour date they would play before Mike Skinner retires the band after the festival season, where they are due to perform at Wireless and Benicassim. They played all the big songs from their 5 studio albums including 'Don't Mug Yourself', 'Never Went To Church', 'Dry Your Eyes' and the much anticipated 'Fit But You Know It'.

There are some good reviews from this tour about on the Internet which I'd recommend. There seemed to be everything from crowd surfing to the crowd splitting down the middle to create a walkway for Mike Skinner to run along, known as "Go Moses" as well as "Go Low" which has everyone standing towards the front of the academy to crouch down so the people standing at the back get a full view of the stage.
