We were treated to such a brilliant setlist, throughout the night there was something for every fan of Ty, matching his many personalities and sounds. Following this was the eclectic, fan favourite ‘Fanny Dog’ and ‘Finger’. The pure rawness of this track set the tone for the rest of night, coming in strong to every note from beginning to end. They kicked things off with ‘Wave Goodbye’ the thumping riff focused track from ‘Slaughterhouse’. Cronin was ever the bass man, holding them together and even opted for sax at one point, Moothart bashed the skins like a wildman and Kelly and Boye provided a solid rhythm section that bounced nicely off Ty’s ever bending and whirling tangents. As a band they were tight as a ducks behind, with each member vital to the bands overall sound. As an audience you are invited to rock out with five dudes who are fully enjoying their music.

Their simple yet inviting stage presence created the atmosphere similar to watching your mates jam out in their garage. The band came to rock and roll and that is exactly what they did, no gimmicks, no pretentious backdrop and no posing for the audience. It was everything and more of what I expected from the innovative Californian rocker, he proved that he is a rock god worthy of the likes of Sabbath, Zeppelin and Hawkwind. The night can be summed up as a concussive explosion of sound that erupted through North London. Collectively they shook the venue to it’s very foundation, with an onslaught of riffs, screeches and howls. However, what Ty Segall & The Freedom Band bought to the 02 Forum Kentish Town had me in absolute awe. Before we start this review I want to make it absolutely clear that I am some what of a mega fan of Ty Segall, so I was always going to enjoy the show.
