This was The Equivalents first time at The Hightown Club and boy did they rock the joint. Not a band to stick to one genre or decade, knocking out soul, ska, funk, reggae, rock and pop classics one after the other. Nor are they ones to play the safe options songs-wise, playing everything from Madness to XTC - their take on Making Plans for Nigel was uncanny to the original version. As one member said on the night "The Best Band of The Year". Looking forward to getting these guys back at The Hightown very soon.

I trudged to my local on a wet Saturday night expecting to hear the usual brand of bland covers band and got blown away by the technical brilliance of the eQuivalents, who really sounded like the bands whose tracks they played, and this talented bunch of musicians were giving it their all. Most bands play one kind of music, sticking to one genre, but that wasn't the case here. The eQuivalents dished out servings of Glam, Rock, Pop, Soul and Dance music with even some Ska and a bit of Reggae thrown in for good measure, leading their audience through the years sampling tracks from all the decades. I particularly enjoyed their version of "Le Freak" by Chic, which was performed very well sounding impressively close to the original, and was transported back to my youth when they later included two hits from Pulp in the form of "Common People" and "Disco 2000". I also got the feeling that this was a band more than capable of motivating their audience onto the dance floor, and I'd love to have heard more dance stuff included in their gig. As it is, I can recommend you check these guys out if you want something different from the norm. You won't be disappointed. I'll certainly be checking the local listings with a view to coming back for more.
