These are the questions that abound as Thekla fills up in anticipation for Band Of Skulls latest special show to mark the 10th anniversary of their 2009 debut album, Baby Darling Doll Face Honey.
Admittedly, the sparse crowd at Komedia was less than the Southampton duo – drummer Matt Hayward left back in 2017 – would normally attract, but it did not prevent Russell Marsden and Emma Richardson giving it their all to their dedicated followers.
The Southampton three-piece are yet to make the transition from reasonably sized clubs like SWX in Bristol to headlining stadiums even after previously supporting heavyweights like Muse and The Black Keys.
Sweet because because Band of Skulls absolutely brought it, bitter because we learned that opener Murder Shoes was breaking up and playing their last show.
