Personally I thought they were a pile of steaming sh!te at Electric Picnic last year, was v dissapointed.

they are useless outdoors, you need to be indoors to get anything from the music

I went to see them on Saturday night and I thought they fairly rocked. Although mind you, I was fairly mashed so my memory of the night ain't the best!

I'm backing the legends call. I've seen them about 8 times at different festivals and two indoor gigs but last Friday night was ace. It was twenty times what they did at the elec picnic. They really really enjoyed the gig and it showed they are load more electric these days if they play at night or headline. If you saw them at the chillis they were mid afternoon Summer easy listening good beats but it was the same songs tarted up reall nice reall heavy and yeah prity much filth. I want to have yer ones babies she's a little brown sugar peach! OOOww

I agree - Friday nights gig was superb. The whole crowd was up for it and the place was rocking!

I was there too and I thought they were amazing!!! I'm a huge huge fan anyway but I was even more impressed than when I saw them (for the first time) at the Electric Picnic. As I suspected beforehand, the acoustics and intimacy of the Olympia compared with an outdoor venue suited them better I think. My personal favs of the night were Fogma and Lovebox - they nearly brought the house down when they lashed those two out!!!

Interestingly a mate of mine who I was there with was insisting that they were miming alot of their stuff but I thought he was talking rubbish tbh. I listen to them alot so I think I'd know better than him in terms of the difference in sound although he is training to be a sound engineeer. Anyone else have such suspicions??? Groove Armada use alot of samples in their live shows anyway along with live instruments etc... Maybe this could have confused my friend....
