Yes, yes, we know Alphabeat are already onto promotion for second single 'Hole In My Heart', but we have watched this live version of 'The Spell' about 8 times in a row today.
It is always pleasing to see a live arrangement that betters the original. It shows the band have looked at what they've done and thought "right, we've got a pretty great song here. How can we take it up a notch to pretty fucking great now that we've got a bit more freedom to mess about and do what we like with the live version?". The Black Box nod at the end is a particularly lovely touch.
We've seen their shows a few times, and the energy and enthusiasm they deliver (particularly singer Anders' dancing) make them the live act equivalent of a food fight at a house party when it's not your house.
We're just absolutely gutted now that we forgot to get our tickets for Alphabeat (with Lady Gaga supporting them) on tour next month.
