WAITING FOR KATE, Budvar Stage, 2 May 2010
Bristol band Waiting for Kate had everyone up and dancing by the Budvar Stage with their ska inspired beats despite the chilly weather. The six piece band kicked off with their lively number TRIP THE LIGHT oozing the energy and tempo needed to get the crowd going. Despite problems with the sound adjustments and being heckled by four years old demanding them to perform more songs, the band played on in true style. Their current single LOOSE GOOSE proved a massive hit with the audience regardless of the repetitive lyrics and chord structure. This didn't matter though as the ska trumpet, saxophone and strong bass line produced a great beat to dance along to. Gaining a huge crowd, Waiting for Kate dared to perform a cover of Dizzee Rascal's DANCE WITH ME after allowing the audience to vote on what they would like to hear. This raised more bums off seats and had people singing along and wolf whistling at the lead singer whilst he rapped away. Everyone enjoyed this set from the young to the old. A triumph and fantastic performance from Bristol's Waiting for Kate.
