Live Lounge

ESCG Live Lounge is a platform supporting local artists, showcasing their talent on Facebook, Instagram and Youtube. Live Lounge uses industry-standard recording studios and is filmed using professional camera equipment. At Live Lounge, we record live performances of artists’ songs, producing a high-quality live performance video at the end of a session. They can then use this footage for their portfolio or the uploaded video to show their friends, family or potential label representatives.

Live Lounge is an experience open to both ESCG students and outside talent.

‘The Girl Is Crying In Her Latte’, is Sparks’ 16th studio album. After Edgar Wright’s film ‘The Sparks Brothers’, the duo have reached a whole new younger audience with their music. Sparks’ most popular song ‘This Town Ain’t Big Enough for Both of Us’ reached #2 In the UK charts in 1974!

When first arriving at the venue, we were briefly welcomed by the sound of the band practising inside. Hearing a somewhat gentle bass guitar from the outside, we already had a feeling of what to expect. Whilst standing outside, we observed other fans and attendees that arrived in the queue after us. Most were young people (16-19) or young adults (20-25). There were few younger fans attending with parental figures, and those that we saw were already seated above the standing area. The atmosphere was unsurprisingly friendly from those who we talked to (as we had made brief interactions throughout the night) and we even made a friend!

When entering the venue, we were quickly plagued by a swarm of young people in patterned sweaters and bucket hats, and we realised, wearing all black, that we inevitably stuck out amongst the crowd. Almost all of the fans, the band included, wore a lot of brightly coloured statement clothing, primarily green, pink, yellow, and blue. We also hilariously discovered a group of gig attendees playing a game of chess in the crowd behind us before the show began, which made us laugh pre-performance.

During this particular tour, the band were promoting their most recent album ‘Maybe in Another Life…’. They performed a plethora of songs from this, including ‘GROWING PAINS’, ‘CROCODILE TEARS’, and ‘SILVER LININGS’, however, they also performed a heavy amount of songs from their previous album ‘Life’s a Beach’ including ‘ocean view’, ‘nightmares’, ‘daydreams’, and ‘skeletons’ — a fan favourite, as shown by the love from the audience. The sound quality during the performance was rich, as there was not one audio fault throughout the night. The music and the beat was clear, and all of the lyrics were intelligible. The light show was also incredible; it featured many
