A few weeks ago on the 24th October it was the Mercury Prize gig with nominees The Maccabees, Michael Kiwanuka & Alt-J performing at SLO St.Luke's in East London.
It was a great venue + what better way for The Maccabees to come home from their big US trip than playing here. They were nominated for their 3rd album 'Given to the Wild', but they did play a couple of songs from 'Wall of Arms' which the crowd loved. To my amazement though they lost out to Alt-J, im my eyes no one nominated deserved it more than The Maccabees. Their album is beyond fabulous and after seeing them play 8 times since the album was released in January, I should know.
