It’s
been 3 years since Tennessee’s finest have rocked up onto British shores and
Framing Hanley did not disappoint. Playing the small but notorious south west
venue; The Cavern in Exeter, they whipped up quite a frenzy.
Opening
with their well known cover of Lollipop (original by Lil Wayne) we knew this
night was going to get better and better. And it did! Continuing with other fan
favourites such as Hear Me Now and Built For Sin, they threw in three songs
from their new album The Sum Of Who We Are and with the unfortunate delay of
it, Framing Hanley released Crooked Smiles, No Saving Me and Walt and the
Wolves for free on their website; www.framinghanley.com as an apology for the wait of brand
new material. Nixon had everyone eating out the palms of his hands as we all
recited the lyrics and even people who weren’t interested before, definitely
were now as the energy and fantastic vocals resulted this.
This
band aren’t just about the music but about the fans as after their set their
merch table was literally surrounded by fans and the Tennessee 5 piece took the
time to have a chat with each person that came up to them. Great band full of
energy and love, I have my fingers and toes crossed they will return to our
shores in the very near future.
