To celebrate 25 years of Love/Hate's debut album, 'Blackout in the Red Room', Jizzy Pearl is touring the UK to play it in its entirety. Despite this not being a Love/Hate concert, the Underworld was busy for a Sunday night. The voice of Love/Hate is doing this as a solo artist albeit backed up by the support band The King Lot. To be fair this 3 piece band from Scotland do a pretty damn good job, playing each song as a perfect rendition of the originals. Jizzy reliability informed us that he hadn't rehearsed, let alone played with these guys until he flew into the UK to do this tour! Rather than start off with Blackout, they finish the set with this song! Instead 'Cream' is the strange choice of first song. However not only do we got all the songs from Blackout we are also treated to the singles from 'Wasted in America', namely 'Evil Twin' and the aforementioned title track. As Jizzy does not do encores, the final song is a great cover of AC/DC - 'Highway to Hell'. Smiles all round especially from Jizzy who always enjoys touring the UK.Here's to another 25 years!
