The Arkells were energetic, entertaining, and sounded great. Their passion for their music is obvious, and they seemed to enjoy energy from the crowd. The 2nd opening band - The Sweet Thing - however, almost stole the show. They were THAT good. The lead singer's persona on stage was over the top (good!) and the drummer and the rest of the band musically almost outplayed the Arkells! The harmonics in the beginning were stellar. Overall - great show!
