Fahran – Album Release Party – Friday 5th July

What a gig to kick off the album release for Vapours by Fahran at Percy’s Cafe Bar, a little gem of a venue tucked away in Whitchurch, Shropshire. The venue was pretty much packed as they took to the stage following impressive opening sets from Hollow Illusion and Kamino. I’ve seen a fair few Fahran gigs over the years and this was definitely their heaviest mainly due to the thirteen song set being made up of eight from the new album. Lead vocalist Matt Black seemed like a kid in a sweet shop as he belted out a high pitched delivery throughout and the rest of the band are no slouches in their stagecraft, especially the whirlwind of hair and arms from drummer Josh Windsor. Buy the album and catch them live when you can, you won’t be disappointed!
