Critic Consensus
Based on 13 concert reviews, the critic consensus is that Big Deal is rated as a mediocre live performer, with shows that lack substantial critical acclaim. Big Deal concert reviews describe live shows and performances as energetic and melancholic.
The two expressed horror at this very public speculation in interviews, and followed their stripped-back debut with the musical equivalent of a cold shower, adding band members for two albums of big, vaguely 90s-indebted indie anthems.
Following the release last summer of their second LP June Gloom the duo played yesterday at Cargo in Shoreditch before many a melancholic fan wrapped up in their sweaters and romantic moods.
Nothing but modest the crowd watch as the band quietly ready their instruments for the set walk off stage and immediately return fog billowing to open with the first track of the album Golden Light.
The new record might be titled June Gloom but as the spectacularly un-gloomy June sun beats down on East London it quickly becomes apparent that Big Deal’s sound is perfectly suited for the summer.
Since their last performance in Brighton, their time as a group has certainly been put through various trials and tribulations with the dismantling of relationships and departure of band members.
The Anglo-US duo attracted a sell-out crowd; the success of their romantic shoe-gaze pop sound continuing on with this year’s release of their second LP ‘June Gloom’.
