17th June- Capdown, Krakajak, Boom in the Diamon Industry
We can see that from the repeat sell-out of their double-gig extravaganza, Capdown don’t play The Pitz often enough. Having had to wait 11months between the last two gigs, it was a great surprise to hear that they were returning for a June gig, much earlier than expected.
Playing a good mix of emo vs pop punk, Krakajak were great openers for the gig. They ably managed the hefty task of getting the crowd going at 8pm and led by their charismatic frontman, Rob, they played an energetic set to a highly receptive audience.
As much as their stage performance seemed unbeatable, TBG thinks that their music deserves a mention too. I think Krakajak have managed to find the balance between emo and pop without the risk of sounding “too emo!” as many bands have been accused of these days.
Boom In the Diamond Industry - Very Franz feel. This is a marching band – if there was any band that would make you want to move your feet – this is probably one of them. I danced. I got weird looks. I stopped.
Playing a wicked mix of old AND new, the Capdown lads started their set to tremendous applause. Hailing from MK themselves, Capdown are literally, at home playing on stage and their experience really shows through their performance. With strong support from the rest of the band, Jake provided powerful vocals throughout the show and together, they showed no signs of tiring. The crowd welcomed classics like Headstrong and Act Your Rage and my personal favourite song - Bitches and Nike Shoes- came towards the end of the set, with the crowd joining in.
Ending on Ska Wars – possibly one of our all-time favourites, the end of the set saw the crowd skanking, crowdsurfing, dancing, jumping – basically moving in any shape or form and having a great time. That’s the mark of a good band.
