Good Shoes stole the show on Tuesday night with their longest set to date (running in at just over an hour) to the biggest audience they've ever played to at Academy 2. With a mixture of B-sides, new tracks and tracks off their debut album, ‘Think Before You Speak’. With such a flat album it's a surprise that the band are so lively, and the crowd seemed suitably impressed with muchos crowd surfing and dancing. Surprisingly, the band offered to finish the set with a request, to which half the crowd wanted to hear the hit single ‘Morden’ a second time. If only the studio had captured the energy Good Shoes exude, maybe the debut album would have sold better. A solid performance.
