Firstly I loved the venue for this event. It was my first visit to the Moth Club in Hackney & it was a lovely venue. I liked the old school style bar area where it was possible to relax & take refuge, (at times,) from the main stage area. The second support act, Baby In Vain, were great but it was a full on assault of guitars played in a heavy/grungy style. Sometimes nice to take time out from that!! First band Yassassin were fantastic & very entertaining. I understand that they played their debut gig just over a year ago @ The Moth Club, so this venue obviously has a special place in their hearts & minds. Great band & I wish them every success in the future. So pleased to see PINS again after first encountering them when they supported Honeyblood on tour in late 2016. Now one of my 'must see' live bands. Great songs & performance & the ladies are also very charming in person. 2 great albums out & now an upcoming tour with Maximo Park. 2017 should be 'The Year Of PINS' with the UK singing, in vast numbers, 'All Hail'

I only arrived for the last song of the first band, Honey, so cannot really comment. The second band was Yellow Brain and were good. Strangely I saw them the next night when they had grown by a third, which really helped. PINS however, were excellent. They have a great stage presence with personality in spades. However, it's just excellent song after excellent song after excellent song, so how could you go wrong?

Firstly, this was my 3rd time of seeing PINS live in the past 12 months. I rate them as one of the top 3 touring UK rock acts, alongside Honeyblood and Wolf Alice. Great live show, brilliant songs, image, musicianship & stage presence. Faith reminds me of Siouxsie in the way she performs. The band smile and bop around a lot and talk to the audience right from the start. Encores usually end with a stage full of audience members/support acts. Charming in person on the merch stall & I always leave smiling and looking forward to catching them again soon. Venue, The Garage Islington........NOT one seat in the entire place. I have an injured ankle @ the moment so wasn't best pleased. Also, DODGY bar staff (male) tried to give me an old ten pound note in my change & on a previous visit a male member of the bar staff tried to short change me by £10. Be warned people..........they must be ripping off punters right left & centre. The girls that have served me have been fine..............NUFF SAID. Highly recommend PINS to anyone thinking of going to see them on their current UK/Ireland tour. 'ALL HAIL' these 'Young Girls' are 'Trouble' of the very best kind! Obrigade

Superb songs still in the subconscious days after the show. Somewhere in there was an echo of a long gone Johnny Thunders.
