Captain Backfire played The Thack South Milford last Monday (5th May) at a fairly well attended gig. They played what seemed a tight Acoustic set consisting of mainly covers with a few of their own songs thrown in. The sounds levels of this part of the set were balanced but could have been louder as people could be heard talking over the band.
The second set they played was full band and didn’t seem to go so well. ‘How Much it Hurts’ seemed to be at a lower tempo to usual, and ‘Loose Change’ was so fast it lost its funk.
The audience did seem to enjoy themselves however and joined in with the songs when required. Also forcing the band to play ‘Good Friday’ as they had decided to play it only on request, the singing as they returned for an encore planned only to contain a cover of Jemeriquies ‘Canned Heat’ did just that.
The band had a lot of energy and seemed up for the gig but just didn’t seem tight or well rehearsed, which after the performance of the week before was a disappointment.
