Expatriate - The James 28/07/07

August 8th, 2007 by Chris Titmus

On a blustery winter’s evening in Launceston, Expatriate turned up the heat. Kicking off this spectacular gig with the single Only Wanna Love Ya, they continued on with many other songs off the In The Midst Of This album, including the other singles Play A Part, Crazy and The Spaces Between, also with a few other songs from their earlier EPs.

When Ben (vocals) got off the stage and sung amongst the crowd – it livened the atmosphere even more. Incredible musicians, being only a four-piece, without seeing them in person, it sounds as if they would be at least five in number, as keyboardist Damien changes frequently from keys to electric guitar, adding to the sound.

It was a concert that can only really be described with words such as “amazing” and “incredible”. For words cannot quite express how terrific this gig was. Adding extra bits and pieces to their already impressive songs, it made the night seem to go all too quickly.

It was the last night of the tour, so expect to be waiting a little while before this band returns to our shores, but definitely catch them when they do. A really awesome gig, and great guys too!
