Suede Blast Bush Hall | The Quietus

Suede Blast Bush Hall

The wonderfully transient Suede reunion continued tonight with the group’s third UK gig in a while at Bush Hall in West London. Suede kept up the pace of the 100 Club and Royal Albert Hall shows earlier this year with a set whipped from their rather tasty records until A New Morning. Brett Anderson got sweaty, Neil Codling looked dishy, Mat Osman wafted, Simon Gilbert pounded and Richard Oakes would have silenced the Bernadettes if only they had been arsed to turn up. Brett Anderson went on a lot about things being "lovely" before introducing ‘Pantomine Horse’ saying "this is a song that isn’t about being lovely". It all went off with something that looked a little like this:

Heroine

Pantomime Horse

My Insatiable One

She

Can’t Get Enough

Everything Will Flow
