EZRA FURMAN (London Abbey Road Studios, 30/07/15)


It's not like I'm obsessed with everyone's favourite transgender Springsteen-channelling Jew, but this is the fourth time I've seen him perform live in 2015. Tonight's show is a bit of an oddity as it's actually a recording for a live EP at the prestigious Abbey Road Studios, and as a result it's much more mannered than your typically unhinged Boyfriends gig. But despite Ezra being frazzled by an uncomfortable radio interview earlier that day, the band still put on one hell of a performance, dusting off under-appreciated gems from their back catalogue as well as "Lousy Connection" et al. The perfect pick-me-up on an otherwise awful day.
