Fresh
from completing work on 3rd album A Flash Flood of
Colour (due for release early
2012), St. Albans quartet Enter Shikari hit UK roads for a headline
tour following a summer that included a huge set at Reading/Leeds.
Norwich was the tour's first port of call for a band fast becoming
one of Britain's best live acts, and their unique blend of rock,
hardcore and drum 'n' bass/dubstep went down a storm to an adoring
crowd.
Wasting
no time, the band dived into their set (quite literally – at one
point vocalist Rou Reynolds actually swung into the crowd from
stage-side rigging), and tore through a set comprising of their most
popular songs covering their 2 records and recent singles, as well as
some fan favourites. A semi-acoustic interlude fell a little bit
flat, not keeping with the slightly chaotic atmosphere permeating the
LCR (there were even human pyramids at one point); that said, the
crowd knew every word anyway. After a blistering encore, Shikari left
the stage triumphantly, and left the LCR itself battered, bruised and
grinning from ear to ear. It's safe to say Norwich set a good
precedent for the rest of the tour.
