Supergrass - Live at The Roundhouse, London - 22nd May 2025
Thirty years after the testosterone fuelled I Should Coco burst into the world, Supergrass are commemorating its impact.
Tonight’s (May 22nd) show, the second of three at the Roundhouse in Camden, is a reminder of just how tight, inventive and gloriously fun that the four-piece band of brothers can be.
Playing the album in order (as is practice), Supergrass open with the glam-stomp gallop of ‘I’d Like To Know’, setting a precedent for the evening: urgent, unpredictable and executed with master precision.
Less a song than a suite of rock movements crammed into four minutes (each one cut off in its prime), the crowd sing when required with nostalgic gusto but also as an eruption of communal energy.
Yet even then, it pales into significance next to the first single of the night, ‘Caught By The Fuzz’. Ever the wily showmen, Supergrass slightly delay the gallop into the final verse, Danny Goffey’s drumming characteristically pulverising and Mick Quinn’s outstanding bass playing possibly the band’s secret weapon.
