Amazing performance, amazing sound. Venue was cool.

De Staat, Oslo, London - 13th January 2024
Quite simply astonishing. De Statt are the greatest live band on earth. I have been to hundreds of gigs in my time and I've seen some great ones but nothing, nothing compares to De Statt. They are funny, exciting, consummate musicians and their live performance is nothing short of miraculous. My friend could not take the smile off his face all evening. If you ever get to see this band run, run to the the ticket office. Unbelievable!
