Winning the crowd over with their infectious, breezy beach pop, Gung Ho appeared relaxed and happy on stage, interacting with the rowdy crowd in between songs. The highlight of the night for me was seeing the drummer, James, break out into a fully fledged rap that he had apparently been practicing a million times to the dislike of the other band members.
Memorable moments also go to the amazing long-haired couple who stood in front of me and swung their hair around for the entire set, they were very focused and dedicated to this, well done. Gung Ho’s last song, ‘Side by Side’, was a crowd favourite and even made some sweaty dudes crowd surf and rip their shirts off afterwards. Woo!
