The Rapture, Astoria, 28 February 2007
The Rapture showed new rave’s pretenders how to party at their NME show.
With messy hair and funky t-shirts the quartet looked like they’d just come from Camden Market rather than NYC.
Their opening trademark cowbell-led infectious anthem Don Gone Do It got fans making shapes from outset, transforming the Astoria from gig to disco venue in seconds.
The band’s songs are ideal for a live setting as they fuse crashing guitars and mellifluous sax with thumping beats.
There was little need for banter as lead singer Luke Jenner danced and waved his guitar round like his skinny jeans were on fire for the set’s entirety.
He screamed the lyrics to explosive club favourite House of Jealous Lovers, to a raucous reception.
The pulsating rhythms of their encore Olio had crowd dancing like their jeans were on fire too as Jenner dived from the stage to join the party on the floor.
