Example works tirelessly at Beach Break Live 2011
Beardyman, We Are Scientists make boobs of themselves
Chris Eustace - 18 June 2011
Warming up for White Lies, he tirelessly worked an
already up-for-it crowd, getting them bouncing early with 'Last Ones Standing', promising a set of "singing, dancing and
sweating." Quipping "that's all the shit songs out of the way" before a slick 'True Lies', the second half of
the set housed his biggest hits, as circle pits formed for 'Watch The Sun Come Up', 'Won't Go Quietly' and 'Kickstarts'.
Closing with current number one single 'Changed The Way You Kissed Me', he claimed the crowd would be "hard to
beat this summer", calling them "fucking lunatics."
Earlier on the main stage, festival institution
Beardyman also went down well, incorporating covers including 'Can I Kick It?', '7 Nation Army' and, in a
nod to tomorrow's headliners, Magnetic Man's 'I Need
Air' and 'Perfect Stranger'.
Using just his voice and loops, he also improvised a song around the word "boobs",
in tribute to some exhibitionists picked up on the video screens.
We Are Scientists also paid tribute, with Chris Cain lifting up his shirt as
the band arrived onstage.
With ex-Razorlight drummer Andy Burrows in tow, they played a energetic
set with 'Nobody Move, Nobody Gets Hurt', 'It's A Hit', 'The Great Escape' and closer 'After Hours' getting the biggest response,
with singer/guitarist Keith Murray apologising for not wearing something "beach appropriate".
White Lies are set to play next on the main stage at Beach Break Live 2011.
