We have reached the point where the albums I first fell in love with when I started getting into music properly are all turning 20. Hooh boy. Anyway, the yearly seemingly personally targeted nostalgia-fest that is Bristol Sounds is back upon us, and the Kaiser Chiefs are playing through all of Employment, an album which 11 year old me remembers as being banger after banger, and to be fair, 31 year old me isn’t massively disagreeing. The crowd around us at the beginning are pricks, and that combined with some overstimulation causes Alasdair to have a panic attack, so a lot of the first three songs are a little bit lost in the context. After that, though, perched on the edge of the crowd, we’re back, and it’s wonderful. Ricky Wilson has clearly started taking care of his voice, and it’s all in good form. As with Busted last year, lyrics I would have told you I couldn’t name would come to the tip of my tongue a second before I needed them. The first set ends with a beautiful rendition of Caroline, Yes and Team Mate, maybe my two favourite album tracks on Employment. As the rain picks up, the crowd begins to thin out a bit, but we’re sticking it out for the rest of the hits - Never Miss A Beat sees Wilson in almost Brett Anderson form, and Ruby is a bona fide crowd singalong barnstormer. A frantic The Angry Mob finishes us off, and we stagger back towards the house with grins firmly plastered on our faces. Support from Lime Garden, suffering from the joint disadvantages of being on in the daylight, not being the Kaiser Chiefs, playing to an audience who are not massive gig goers and therefore not on board with a support act, and, in the nicest way, not quite having the songs or stage presence to overcome all that.
