The History of Apple Pie @ the not so Old Blue Last

From History of Apple Pie 2011

Returning to the Old Blue Last for the first time in years, since its renovation, I wasn't sure what to expect – the venue had certainly scrubbed up well – I hoped the music hadn’t also been scrubbed too clean. Having first heard The History of Apple Pie supporting Anna Calvi at KOKO and successfully rocking a much larger venue, hearing them in the much more confined space of upstairs at the Old Blue Last was going to be interesting… They didn’t disappoint, despite having to do their own set up after the previous set, start to end of the set they engaged a packed out venue – not bad with an audience who’d not had to pay to get in, so might not even of heard of them previously. The young take on grungy guitar based pop/rock certainly suited the venue and the fairly young audience they and the venue attracted.
