Pond - Gig Review (23rd of September 2012, Corner Hotel)


The Corner Hotel hosted Progressive rock group Pond on a divine Sunday evening in which became a pure energising set kicking off with ‘Leisure Pony’ off their recent release ‘Beard, Wives, Denim’. It was lead singer Nick Allbrook’s quirky personality, which created, an electrifying atmosphere in which saw him dive into the crowd in their first two songs.

After an energetic entrance ‘eye pattern blindness’ calmed the crowd and nick until the mind blowing guitar riffs kicked in and from then on in every minute topped the next. Playing some new songs, which will be featured on their next album fans, have something to look foreword to as they include incredible instrumental collaboration, verging on some slower heavier sounds. ‘Moth Wings’ and ‘When it Explodes’ saw the crowd ‘explode’ into energetic dancing, crowd surfing and dancing on stage, and Pond with their upbeat indescribable sound.

After another new song all was halted on stage as they announced they was to be no encore and proceeded to jam on stage as nick walks on and off stage. Blasting into ‘Betty Davis’ the crowd was mostly a jolting joy of limbs flung about as Pond finish what was an energetic, musically inspirational set.

Pond, are set to play Laneway Festival February next year.
