Sixty Million Errors

Just returned from seeing the wonderful Errors at Bournemouth's 60 Million Postcards.
Initial things I have learnt from this evening are as follows: -

• Bournemouth music fans can nod their heads with enthusiasm. It's far more polite and British than actually jumping about you see.
• Errors are amazing. Tight. LOUD. And packing more beats and funk than the most beat filled and funky thing on the planet. True Story. They were immense.

I first heard Errors way back, and remember their first record was a regular on my Spotify playlist. I was privileged enough to get the opportunity to support them with my band when they played at the infamous Southampton Joiners on 5th March 2010 in support of their second LP - Come Down With Me. I was given a bit of advice when I first started out taking my band seriously, and that was to be careful of the smaller, more indie bands. They are the ones that tend to have the ego, and it is the larger bands that are lovely. I kept that in mind and have encountered both on my travels, and after supporting them back in the day, was chuffed with how friendly and genuinely kind Errors are as people, which I find makes me more enthusiastic to buy into their music. They're brilliant chaps, making brilliant music.

Anyway tonight - back to that. The band were on top, top form. One member down from when I last saw them, they played to a small but enthusiastic (by Bournemouth's standards) crowd of about 50 people and ploughed through a 60 minute set. 

It was pretty much agreed by the end of the evening that the drumming was some of the best me and my friends have ever witnessed live, but this would be nothing were it not for the enthusiasm the whole band clearly have for the music they are making. I caught up with Stephen Livingstone of the band just prior to the show and he was very excited to be playing the new songs out on the road and is proud of their new effort, the fantastic - " Have Some Faith In Magic". 

If you have never listened to Errors before, then I implore you, please give them a listen. They may not be your thing, but what have you got to lose? They may just be the best thing you've ever heard. If you are familiar with the three piece, then congratulations, I applaud your taste in music. 

Who says Mondays have to be rubbish eh?!
