Don Broco go down a storm!

Bedford based four piece Don Broco recently supported Futures on their rescheduled tour, hitting London's XOYO venue on July 10th.

Playing live is what Don Broco live for. When they take to the stage there is not one individual in the venue that could say they weren't entertained by what they were witnessing. From the moment they step foot on the stage they go from strength to strength, performing plenty of upbeat melodies, sing-a-long lyrics and catchy hooks to jump around to. The lads performed tracks that span the bands discography. One of the most breathtaking songs was Beautiful Morning, which had the entire venue pumped, the band going bonkers and the stage falling apart; Actors also went down a storm. The in sync dance moves at several points throughout the set were a little odd, but were actually able to fit in well with the set.

One of the most astounding aspects of the set was the crowd reaction to what they were experiencing. The atmosphere created by the band and the way they were received by the crowd was immense. Lead vocalist Rob Damiani was extremely involved with the crowd, literally climbed into the audience at one point to dance and jump alongside the admirers of his music. These guys have a great stage presence and the reaction they received was certainly proof that they gave a great set. They ended the set and left the stage red faced and dripping with sweat - but on a high with what they had just done.

If there was one band to watch out for in the coming year, Don Broco would be it. With an album due for release later in the year, there is plenty more to come from Don Broco in 2012.
