They were called Evarose. This was the song I saw &#8211; it\u2019s called \u201cBest Left Alone\u201d. I was immediately taken by the song and I put them on my \u201cwatch\u201d list\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><iframe data-src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1jE_wezQuXM\" height=\"250\" width=\"520\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>I was duly (well, eventually) notified that they were coming to Nottingham and so I bought tickets. They were support for another band called \u201cStraight Lines\u201d. Also supporting were Summerlin &#8211; who I saw a few months ago <a title=\"CJD @ Rescue Rooms, Nottingham\" href=\"https:\/\/www.diaryofanadi.co.uk\/?p=9578\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">at the CJD gig<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Summerlin aren\u2019t really my cup of tea! They could be &#8211; there\u2019s no question that they have talent &#8211; but every song they play sounds the same, which isn\u2019t helped by the fact that you can\u2019t hear their lyrics. Of course, that might have had something to do with the acoustics &#8211; small rooms with a stage about 6 metres by 5 are never going to be acoustically pure &#8211; but Rock City (and the attached Rescue Rooms) is like a rabbit warren, with getting on for a dozen such locations.<\/p>\n<p>What was interesting though was that as the sets moved from Summerlin, to Evarose, and then to Straight Lines, there was a noticeable progression from raw to polished. That\u2019s not to say that Evarose weren\u2019t polished &#8211; it was just an overall impression I got.<\/p>\n<p>Evarose have a pretty good stage presence (as good as it can be on a tiny stage), and although a couple of their videos make them look very teen-poppy their sound is quite heavy.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m not going to go into individual song details, even though I bought Evarose\u2019s existing CD after I\u2019d seen them on the TV. All I will say is that if you get a chance you\u2019ve got to go and see them. If they get the right break, they\u2019re a band that will definitely go places.<\/p>\n<p>The annoying thing is that CJD are also a band in the same position &#8211; and yet the gig at the Rescue Rooms (well, two actually, as they said they\u2019d had a bummer there when I saw them last year <a title=\"The Darkness @ Rock City, Nottingham\" href=\"https:\/\/www.diaryofanadi.co.uk\/?p=7243\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">supporting The Darkness<\/a>) &#8211; was a washout because of the low turnout.<\/p>\n<p>And yet every crap rap act going seems to get air time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I went to a good gig on Saturday at Nottingham,\u2019s Rescue Rooms.
