Venue: Bodega Social Club
Support act: (not a clue)
The idea of a band taking old public information films, sampling them and then soundtracking them may sound odd BUT it works and works well.
I first heard about them from The War room ep with the awesome Spitfire and waltz for george on and have been excited about this gig for a while.
First up was the support band, haven't got a clue what they were called all I know is they packed out the stage had a singer wearing an 80's style coloured visor and playing a flying V and passed out free cakes to the audience. Other support bands take not free cakes is guaranteed to get you in the good books!
The stage was set for Public Service Broadcasting, video screens stacked up around the venue to look like old school televisions and a massive one at the back of the stage.
PSB are artists of very few words and in fact like to communicate through a soundboard on the computer.
They played some great versions of the likes of Night Mail and Theme from PSB. My favourites had to be Spitfire and the awesome Signal 30.
They finished the set with the epic Everest and errr the theme from Last of the summer wine
Public Service Broadcasting Teaching the lessons of the past through the music of the future
