Live Performance Review: Chet Faker, Tuesday 09.06.2015, 19:00, O2 ABC, Glasgow

This was pretty much a punt. Colleagues had suggested it and it was not expensive, so I thought why not. The music had similarities to the likes of Massive Attack, generally had a nice groove and most of it was quite easy to loose yourself within. The music was mostly of a good standard while Chet was accompanied by other musicians on drums and guitars/keys, though when he was by himself he did become slightly overindulgent at times. At times it also appeared as though the vocal levels were swamped by the music levels, making the vocals hard to discern. The lighting was well controlled and used impressively to assist with conveying the tunes. Mr Chet did also have a bit of a 'white-sole boy' look about him both in dress and in movement, though also managed to not be annoying with this. There was also some nice (Aussie) banter especially when he asked the audience to not use there phones for the duration of a song. I have a sense that what I have written is a very mix bag, though I am very definite in saying that this was in all an enjoyable evening with some pleasant and pleasing tunes.
