Gang Of Youths Review – Sentimental End to Sydney Band's Arena ... (Music Feeds)

David Le'aupepe and his Gang of Youths band mates brought their Australian tour to a close with an "intimate" performance at Sydney's Enmore Theatre.

To end their biggest Australian tour to date on such a sentimental and exclusive note was a masterstroke by the band. The more relaxed setting also facilitated storytelling, with Le’aupepe waxing lyrical about getting kicked out of the venue twice for being drunk in his youth, and being refused entry to see the likes of Sonic Youth and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. As per tour tradition, Gretta Ray appeared for a softer but no less epic rendition of ‘The Deepest Sighs, The Frankest Shadows’ from 2017’s Go Farther in Lightness. Hobden joined soon after to add violin to the opening movements of ‘Do Not Let Your Spirit Wane’, with the rest of the band arriving in due course. Like many outings in the unplugged tradition, setlist staples were traded for deeper cuts and the occasional cover. Despite being promised a stripped-back acoustic set, the audience was in raucous spirits before the band took the stage.
