Sam at Leicester O2 Academy

The Pretty Goodbyes played their first set at a proper venue today.

They were invited to play at the Leicester O2 Academy and did a 20 minute set of 5 songs. They even did an encore!!

I took a lot of shots, and will post several over the next few days in other albums. Sam has chosen this one of him playing drums, and posterised in CS5.

At the age of 15, to be in a band and playing at venues that hold 1500 people is one hell of an achievement for the 4 lads.
