I think this was my fourth time seeing RIDE. Every time before I thought the little new shit they played sucked and dragged the show down but this time the new stuff was great and they played like six songs from the new album. This wasn’t the usual show where they play Nowhere or Going Blank Again in their entirety. Enjoyed getting a song from Tarantula.
Playing the same city twice within a year may be too heavy a lift for RIDE though… But I get it, in January they were taking their co headline tour with Charlatans to markets they didn’t hit in 2023 and this tour they are trying to promote their new album.
The drummer is one of my favorites. They are such a tight band.
