Love is All (Bottom of the Hill, 20 November 2008)

I simply loved Love is All when I saw them play Popscene last year. Their sheer energy and poppy songs had me hopping all night. Love is All's second album is a continuation of that sheer pop/noise brilliance its debut album has.

It was a Thursday night, and I had to work early the following morning. So I was a bit tired and just went to the show to see Love is All. I totally missed Vivian Girls, but that was no big deal. I hung out in the back since the front was too full. I would have liked to have danced with the people in front, especially during "Busy Doing Nothing." But the back was good enough.

The new songs were great live. I do wish they played "New Beginnings." Otherwise, I heard all the songs I wanted to hear.
