Gig Review
To say Element 104 is a young band, is like proclaiming the Pope to be a catholic, but don't let their lack of years fool you, these guys are a very creditable rock band in every sense. Their set consisted of covers of hits by bands including Green Day, Offspring, Franz Ferdinand, Queens of the Stone Age, The Arctic monkeys, and Razorlight, as well as original songs written by the band themselves. The amount of energy and commitment coming from these 5 guys was astonishing, it had the audience on their feet and dancing all night. It wasn't the most polished performance I have ever seen, but when did you last see a polished punk rock band? Their fans loved them and that's what really matters, they're the ones who buy the music, I think this band have the potential to develop into something special, keep your eye on them! BB
