Tribes made their debut on a roof in Camden so they should have felt pretty at home playing at the Electric Ballroom, which has to be one of my favourite small venues. While their sound may not be the most original of all things, their lyrics make up for it, and the whole thing exceded expectations of how fun it was going to be. If you go see a metal band you are basically guaranteed a good time, but with an indie band like Tribes there is always the chance that the crowd and the band will be lifeless and boring. Tribes performed some great songs, closing with the nostalgic "We were children", with emotion and life you would not expect from the indie lot. While they may not reach the mainstream alternative status of bands like Two Door Cinema Club, they are a band with charisma and should produce some good stuff in the years to come. A great band, a great gig.
