![]() A brilliant night of music and let’s hope Mr E doesn’t leave it so long till he returns to these shores. On a night of many highlights stand outs for me were the rockin ‘Castanets’ and I had a soft spot for ‘Sally was a Cop’ since it came out.Īgain Bush Hall delivers with a great concert and it really is the best venue of its size in London. Consider the band have been together less than a month the sound is tight and they don’t miss a beat. There a number of influences on display tonight especially from these isles with the likes of T Rex and even an appearance of John Perry from the Only Ones during the encore. What he does bring are his roots of punk to the proceedings and when the band rock they really rock and the talented Antonio Gramentieri from the support band Don Antonio ably provides the licks to Escovedo’s rhythm. Whilst he eschews the label Americana to categorise his style of music over the past twenty years I still think it fits. It’s a good mix up of rock, punk and acoustic moments with Escovedo effortlessly switching between. Whilst ostensibly touring in support of his fine current album ‘Burn Something Beautiful’ the set is drawn from across his extensive back catalogue. Of the band he only met this fine bunch of Italian musicians a few weeks ago and they are accompanying him throughout his extensive European tour. Not a regular visitor to these shores we weren’t going to miss this opportunity to see him again especially with a full band. It’s been fifteen years since I last saw Alejandro Escovedo at the Borderline way back in 02. ![]()
