The Drums were one of the most hyped bands of this year’s Manchester In The City…. and, as it turns out, the hype was probably justified. They were certainly in my top 5 bands of the festival. A cracking energetic set with catchy tunes, played to a feverish crowd reaching the end of their 3-day ITC benders. My favourite part: the pirouting and twirling tambourinist threatening to spin-off the side of the stage with each wild revolution!
After the venue began clearing out I noticed a setlist still onstage – it read:
- Best Friend
- Me And The Moon
- Submarine
- Make You Mine
- Don’t Be A Jerk
- Surfing
- Saddest Summer
- Stupes
- Forever And Ever Amen
- **When I Come Home**
(I’m not sure of the accuracy of this, please feel free to correct in the comments)
Anyway, below you’ll find a video I shot of them performing ‘I Felt Stupid’ from a few hours ago (Tuesday 20th October 2009):
