Starsailor at The Troubadour

It's a travesty of justice that Coldplay are the biggest band in the world when bands like Starsailor, who play the same kind of anthemic driven pop hardly get a look-in. Indeed, singer James Walsh's phrasing is not dissimilar to Coldplay's Mr. Paltry and it did seem that Starsailor's sound is more piano than guitar these days - almost veering into Keane territory in places...

Anyways, Starsailor were very good and 'Good Souls' was as usual the highlight. My only criticism was when they veer into U2 territory by breaking off mid-song into 'Tomorrow Never Knows', 'Suspicious Minds' and one or two things. U2 again come to mind during 'Silence is Easy' - which is a little too close to U2's 'Bad'...
