All About Eve at The Zodiac April 2004
  spacer        

All About Eve's Julianne Regan found fame on Top of the Pops, she did this by not miming at all and looking, frankly, silly. Tonight however she is the loveliest, happiest woman in music and a semi-full Zodiac is equally happy to indulge her.

The set opens with 1987s 'Flowers in Our Hair' and is followed by a mix of new and old songs each as atmospheric and whimsical as the previous. 'In the Clouds' is the first song to really strike a chord with the audience, it ebbs and flows brilliantly and Julianne's voice is a joy to behold, with it's at times gravely and yet stunningly elegant sound.

The leading lady's huge smile and insane stage presence really adds to the show, she is resplendent in a black and pink homemade outfit which she likens to Kat Slater of Eastenders though the audience disagrees.

New Material sounds every bit the Goth-pop-rock that we're used to and the promise of a re-release of 'Martha's Harbour' is backed up by a gorgeous new B-side.

Ghost' and 'Aquamarina' stand out as spine tingling, dramatic moments of the set and set closer Every Angel is a great way to finish, though Julianne tells us 'of course it's not really the last song, it's just that b*****ks we have to do!' Of course finish they did not and D for Desire proves to be the highlight of the evening for the leather clad crowd as they hark back to their younger more rubbery days.

Prior to this evening I had never chanced upon this group of somewhat Cure-esque musicians, the whole band sound great and well… it's all great! Julianne's last words before leaving us "happiness is overrated"… tell that to this crowd, you made them positively bouncy!
