The theme is definately an obvious one tonight at the Deaf Institute in Manchester. Filled with backing tracks of electronic music, the stage was set for bands of the electronic variety. In one corner of the venue, the Errors drummer manned the t shirt stall and was being crowded by many young fans. Already by half eight, the area was building up and on came the only support band. Worriedaboutsatan was the replacement for the original support band May68 for the night due to the May68's lead singer having a back injury.

Infact, Worriedaboutsatan provided some experimental electronic beats that were reminescent of Radiohead. Just think 'Kid A/Amnesiac' era Radiohead mixed with a bit of modern indie and that is what you would have gotten with the band. Infact, the guitarist provided a Jonny Greenwood-esque bow style of playing with his Telecaster. The crowd were nodding their heads back and forth to the band as they provided a delightful set.

By half nine, the venue was almost packed out with fans crowding at various ends of the place. Errors had finally come on prompting many cheers from the crowd. The band's setlist was more focused on their new material as singer Simon Ward said. Starting off with track 'Beards' the band had got a large crowd dancing up and down. The front of the crowd were particularly lively. Other tracks such as 'A Rumour in Africa' continued to get the crowd racing as the band got the venue shaking all around. Older tracks came courtesy of 'Salut France' which continued to keep the excitement in the crowd. The band left near to the end of the set and prompted many fans to shout 'More' repeateadly. The band finally came back on and finished what was an excellent set. The band maybe called Errors but they didn't make any during the night.

9/10
