The ‘nu rave’ bubble may have burst long ago, but Hadouken! don’t seem to have lost any followers since their last Brighton appearance in 2010. Nor have they lost the ability to get those followers raving like maniacs.
They swarm around the merch stand – now old enough to make use of the branded hip flasks but still young enough to style out a fluorescent band t-shirt – before Hadouken! take to the stage prompting a sea of camera phones to rise in unison.
02 Academy, Liverpool, Friday, September 25 Before Hadouken! appear, Metallica's ‘Enter Sandman' launches from the speakers, and a group of otherwise-silent 20-somethings start cheering.
It's not entirely their fault that UK guitar-rock is going through one of its meat-and-potatoes phases but as the biggest name of what is not quite a scene they must accept responsibility for the Cribs the Twang and the rest.
