Gig review of Lost Society

The Underworld, Camden, London

24th October 2023

Support - Seething Akira and North Atlas

I have lost count of the amount of time I have walked past the Underworld but I've never actually been to a gig in there, been in the pub, The Worlds End, enough times though haha.

I got there at about 2pm and got to see some of my friends that I hadn't seen in months and got to have a great catch-up with them all. I love the friendly atmosphere in the queue, everyone so excited to see the band and sharing their stories of meeting their favourite band members.

I saw Samy from Lost Society come back from shopping and I had to

Seething Akira

Ok, so to be completely honest, I hadn't listened to these guys before the show and I wish I had because I loved them! As soon as they came out on stage they jumping around with some serious energy that I was just not prepared for haha. I do also have to mention that outstanding dance moves from the singers, they kept me very entertained.

They have a sort of Electric Callboy sort of vibe by mixing up dance tracks with metal guitars and making it work so well. I've had a listen through their spotify and found the song that I enjoyed the most, it's called "Punishment Instructions", everyone needs to check this out!!

North Atlas

I didn't massivly get into these guys but they did sound good and most of the audience really seemed to like them. They had a great stage presense, very tribal, and seemed to play their songs without any issues, well, I didn't see anyone in the band look at someone else in the band in a confused way haha.

I loved their stage props which looked like fake ivy vines on stands and the whole band looked like they had rubbed each other down with mud before coming on stage haha.

Lost Society

OMG, Lost Society (as usual) did not disappoint. As soon as they came out on stage, all you could see was a sea of hair and hands in the audience. I haven't had the pleasure of seeing these guys live in almost a year and I was so glad to see that they still put on such an amazing show.

This gig was the last of 8 UK dates on their "If The Sky Came Down" tour and from what I had heard, they have been performing with maximum energy levels every single night.

They came out and did my favourite song "112" straight away, so I was completely over the moon as it completely set the energy for the whole night.

I loved hearing Samy's little speaches about how far they come and how much they love all of their fans. They work so hard to be the best that they can and you can see it in their performance because it was all perfect, except the blue and red ligths, they are always a nightmare when you are trying to take pictures haha. Each member of the band was on top form all night, you can see by their performance that they take this all very seriously.

Like I said before, I had never been to The Underworld before and I have to say, it's a brilliant venue considering how small it is. I had to move around to take pictures but I could hear the band perfectly where ever I stood and got a great view. No one was squashed in so everyone had plenty of room to dance around as much as they liked and the vibe from the band and the audience was amazing. Everyone was just having the best time.

My favourite song of the night being performed was "Awake". I was up the back for this song and this felt like the song that got the most response from the crowd so I think it was a alot of people's favourite song. I could hear the people around me singing this one at the top of their lungs and I could see pure emotion on some people's faces while they were singing. It was quite emotional.
