I swear I will be going to other gigs this year that are not the band Divorce. A quite last minute waitlist ticket from DICE means I’m going into this with a spring in my step, which is quickly unsprung by the crowd around me, most noticeably the guy who insistently filmed 2 minutes of every song, which… I’m not the guy who complains about how you should “put your phone away and live in the moment”, I take a few photos here and there, but this guy was whip-panning around the stage like he was Damien Chazelle, right in my eyeline the whole time. I genuinely had to move for the encore. This should nominally be about the gig itself, so let’s move on - they’re really great musicians, who are playing very well in sync, and clearly having fun with it. The whole of the new album, plus a few others, which means all the quiet bits are also nicely represented, harmonies and all. A big response to Checking Out as the final song of the encore, and the roof could have been taken off. DUG are exactly what they appear to be as a support act, leaning much more country, but are remarkably personable and I’d happily go see them again in the future.
