Live Review: Good Hustles at The Bodega

Welcome/welcome back to the blog! Today we’re finally doing a post we haven’t done in a long time again! Today I’m doing my first live review in like 18 months! 

On Friday 20th of August, Good Hustles headlined The Bodega in Nottingham, with support from Adam Zareba, Clonk and Distant Blue. It’s common knowledge that I have W lot to do with Good Hustles as the drummer is Harvey who is one of my favourite people in the entire world! I have a Good Hustles tattoo and everything now. This wasn't my first gig back, as I saw Downcast and Royals a few weeks ago, but this is the first gig back that I'm reviewing! Now, while I am mainly here to talk about Good Hustles I want to just mention the support acts! Adam was the opener, and I've got to admit, I was really impressed by his set. He was quite entertaining and made the crowd laugh, which I thought was great, and I really liked his music as well! He was great! Such a great first impression and a great opener! The second act was Clonk, and they were probably the heaviest band on the lineup. I wasn't too much of a fan of them, if they were supporting at another gig I was going to, I wouldn't complain, but I wouldn't really opt to see them again, just because they weren't my sort of music. They weren't bad, but they just weren't for me. Then came Distant Blue, and I've seen Distant Blue before, I love Distant Blue, I think they're an incredible band! They didn't disappoint, their energy was incredible as always, and they really packed a punch with their set! They were top-notch like always, they had a good mix of new and old tracks, and they just put on an energetic performance as always! Now, let's talk about Good Hustles! The main act. I loved their entire set, from start to finish I was impressed. I thought they were incredible. I expected them to be good, but I didn't expect them to be as good as they were. I'd put Good Hustles up there with some of the best bands I've seen live, and I'd rank them above some of the previous bands I've said were at the top. Their set consisted of some incredible tracks, and I just absolutely loved every second of their set. I can't fault one moment of their performance. It was just insane. I thought their actual setlist was great, and just I was generally really impressed with their set. They were incredible. Such an incredible performance and I'm eager to see Good Hustles again. I think they're an incredible live act, and one that I would highly recommend going and seeing them live if you have the chance to, and if you aren't already listening to them then you need to. Their live performance was incredible, they were probably in my top 3 live acts I've ever seen! I loved their set, and I thought they did an incredible job with their set. Their performance was a solid 5 out of 5 lemons. Was obsessed with their performance and I cannot wait for the next time I get to see them perform live! Where To Find Good Hustles; SpotifyInstagramFacebookYouTubeApple Music Where To Find Me: Here on LifeIsALemon more days than not, at 7pm (UK Time) TwitterInstagramFacebookMy Novel Small Band Appreciation Playlist (Spotify)For all blog related enquires contact me at myvoicebrandnew@hotmail.com
