Closing their headline tour in their current town of Brighton, Demob Happy took to the stage of Concorde 2 for a truly mesmerising performance. Combining mosh pits with a surprise unplugged segment, the Newcastle formed band created a night for the books.
As the clock ticked nine and the crowd started to get rowdy, Demob’s trademark entry song started to play over the speakers before going into the intro of Succubus with the band’s appearance on the stage. As soon as the first note was played the room’s energy got doubled and the first mosh pit started to form, with fans dancing and screaming along to frontman Matt Marcantonio.
The band kept up the high energy throughout the first half of the set with songs including ‘Loosen It’ and ‘Spinning Out’ which induced the most crowd movement of all songs played. After our favourite ‘Liar In Your head’, the band takes it down a notch by playing ‘Running Around’ sung by drummer Tom Armstrong, giving everyone a moment to catch their breath.
The band then takes it down even more with a surprise unplugged version of ‘Holy Doom’, something they hadn’t done before but could definitely get away with doing on a more regular basis. For this song, Matt swaps his bass for keys and Tom backs up Adam Godfrey with a second guitar. The vocals on this song are easily the best heard throughout the evening, with Matt singing in his incredible falsetto voice and the others joining in with captivating harmonies that genuinely exceeded all of our expectations.
The energy suddenly gets picked up again with ‘Junk DNA’, which gets everyone back to moshing like that brief intersection never happened. Second to last is Demob’s recent single ‘Less Is More’, making the crowd ready for the set closer ‘Be Your Man’ which for one last time gets the crowd going mental and sees the band giving all of their last energy to end the night on the highest note possible.
