From the Freebutt to the Dome Concert Hall in three years is an achievement Turin Brakes still don't seem to have fully grasped.
Despite having a recent Top Ten single with Pain Killer and being nominated for the Mercury Music Prize, they don't seem to have comes to terms with the enormity of their success.
The gig felt like a homecoming and the atmosphere reflected a sense of local pride.
Although Londoners, Olly and Gale released their first single on Brighton label Anvil, played their first gigs at local pubs and now have two Brightonians in their band.
Olly and Gale are reluctant live performers and only at the height of their excitement do they even break out in a sway.
This issue has thankfully been addressed and the band's new live show featured hypnotic lights and dreamy film visuals which complemented the band's sound perfectly.
Featuring songs from their first album, The Optimist, and impressive follow-up album, Ether Song, the show signals a new era for a band who just can't help but get better and better.
