The greatest thing I have ever experienced. That's including Celtic v Rangers games.

I was big on him before as I loved his album, shadow puppets album and his fashion. However last night he was honestly on fire. A legend in the making.

He did his new single First of My Kind. Opened the gig with Rearrange which set the tone of the gig. Someone got there ankle sort of snapped as well which sums up the craziness of the evening haha

[Inhaler]

How do you sort of snap an ankle that does sound nasty at the same time though.

Its a bit disappointing I think that he isn't doing much new stuff on this tour, other than First Of My Kind i think he's just dropped Kaka Boom and replaced it with Looking Out My Window which basically means it's the same set as the last tour, I'm not angry just disappointed

You slip while everyone is jumping. Meaning your foot/leg gets jumped on.

When videos appear you will know what I mean haha.

Miles Kane, Barrowlands, Glasgow
Published on 23 April 2012

THE glorious Glasgow Barrowland Ballroom was awash with leather jackets, checked shirts and fake tan.

But then a guaranteed sing-a-long, swagger-fuelled gig is hard to come by on a Saturday night, so serious effort must be made.

Miles Kane, who once stood in the shadows of Alex Turner, did not disappoint.

He has built up a number of 1960s-influenced pop hits so catchy that you feel you know them before you've even heard them.

Rearrange is one of them. This opener kicked the intergenerational crowd into a frenzy, prompting cider to fly through the air.

The indie anthem Inhaler sounded bass-heavy in a good way and everyone seemed to know the words to First of My Kind, the lead song from Kane's newest EP.

The 26-year-old's talent was showcased even more by his guitar skills.

He proved Britpop-style singers can do more than just warble into the mic while looking cool.

During the ballads, including My Fantasy, a few lighters were held aloft – as people petered off to the bar.

An encore of single Come Closer was tantalizing.

It was short and sweet – Kane was on stage for just over an hour – but that seemed to work perfectly.

The only disappointment was his decision not to play the Beatles' Hey Bulldog, a song so etched into his set list that the fans now expect it at every gig.

The highlight of my night was Kane's version of a French classic executed in translated English.

Jacque Dutronc's Le Responsable sounded so fresh and energetic it almost made the Barras feel like they were built yesterday.

Miles Kane - Live at Barrowland Ballroom, Glasgow
Born to perform


Over recent years there’s been many an indie frontman with obvious raw talent. But their god-like attitude and super inflated egos just make you want to kick them in the nuts, take a pair of pliers to their coke-addled nostrils, and kick them right back into their mummy's womb, where they truly belong.

Miles Kane is a different matter entirely. Yes he’s got the swagger jagger, yes he’s got the bravado, and yes he’s got one of those stereotypical Quadrophenia style haircuts (no offence Miles). But there’s something more to him than all of his predecessors; you get the distinct impression that he genuinely loves his audience and is hell-bent on giving them a good time. While playing at Barrowland Ballroom, Glasgow, this is exactly what he does.

The Wirral-born former frontman of The Rascals, The Little Flames and current co-frontman of The Last Shadow Puppets, showcases the very best from his debut solo album ‘Colour of the Trap’. Miles starts off the night with the incredibly contagious ‘Rearrange’ which has the crowd jumping and drinks being strewn from the outset. Like most of his songs, this one has a sixties Beatles edge to it, but the electric guitar riff makes your hair stand on end and skin tingle with excitement – it isn’t anything like you’ve ever heard before. He sings “Let it out, let it out, let it all out”, and that’s exactly what this song makes you feel like doing; letting everything go in one fell swoop.

Next is ‘Counting Down the Days’ and it’s evident from this song that Miles has a connection with the Arctic Monkeys. Arctic’s frontman Alex Turner is Kane’s other half in The Last Shadow Puppets and has co-written some songs for his new album. Although, there is a guitar section which sounds slightly familiar to Madness’s version of ‘It Must be Love’ and complements the overall indie influence of the song.

Miles treats the audience to his new single ‘The First of My Kind’, which is undeniably catchy. With his Lennon-style voice and crumbling lyrics, this song is, overall, forceful and serious. There’s an upbeat chorus and chilling guitar riff, which builds up near the end into a powerful explosion. His cockiness prevails when he sings “All in good time you’ll find, that I’m the first of my kind”. Normally this would be a turn off, but his stage presence is mesmerising, maybe he is the first of his kind.

Another favourite is ‘My Fantasy’ which he dedicates to the females in the audience, and he’s got them eating out the palm of his hand, they’re all loving this uncontrollable flirt. The song is romantically trippy, slow paced and violin infused; the crowd could listen to it for hours.
The final song is ‘Come Closer’, with Miles playing an interlude guitar sequence at the beginning which he builds up into an absolute Hendrix-style frenzy. You can tell he wants to play on the stage forever, he doesn’t want this moment to end. The crowd are going wild, crowd surfing and chanting “Whoa, Ahhh” – the lyrics to the song.

All in all, most of Miles’s songs centre on lust, jealousy and angst. His lyrics capture the scenes perfectly; he makes you feel like you’re living every moment with him. The end result of this night is “Please sir, may we have some more?”
