VIAGRA BOYS AND SHAME TAKE OVER THE BELASCO

We caught up with South London band SHAME to take some portraits before the show. You would never guess that these boys would be so sweet and calm in person once seeing their high-energy, electrifying stage show.

The minute Charlie Steen walks on to the stage he owns it! The interaction with the audience is what we all crave from a rock’n’roll show. From the second they start playing, the crowd goes wild.

Every band member has their own unique personality on stage, such as guitar player Josh Finerty running around like a maniac. You can feel the band 100% enjoys every minute of their live show as much as we did.

SHAME is one of the best bands to come out of London in a long time. I promise you don’t want to miss them.

Up next were the headliners, Sweden’s post-punk VIAGRA BOYS. Sebastian came strutting on to the stage with no shirt and socks on, as if he was the crazy beer-drinking uncle from Christmas Vacation.

Then the music starts. VIAGRA BOYS know how to put on a show, there is no denying that. Ending with a 10 minute chaotic spectacular anthem that absolutely blows your mind.
