Editors Showcase New Album During Tiny London Gig Add to My Fav Bands List

Editors showcased songs from their forthcoming third album during an intimate gig in London tonight (September 16).

The Birmingham band, who release 'In This Light And On This Evening' next month, wowed fans at Fabric in Farringdon.

On stage for 75 minutes, the group played a handful of songs from their new album, including the title track, which opened the set.

‘Eat Raw Meat = Blood Drool’, ‘Like Treasure’ and ‘The Big Exit’ were among the other new songs aired this evening.

The new material was a clear example of the band’s new electronic direction, which frontman Tom Smith described recently as being influenced by the Terminator theme.

Smith seemed packed with explosive energy throughout the set, telling fans at early on that he had a “good feeling about tonight”.

'Best live band ever'

Aside from their new material, Editors played a selection of songs from their previous two albums.

Fans went wild for the likes of ‘Munich’, ‘Racing Rats’ and ‘Bullets’.

After a brief break, the band returned for a three-song encore, which included crowd favourite ‘Smokers Outside The Hospital Doors’ and new single ‘Papillon’.

Following the performance, one fan enthusiastically told Gigwise that the gig was evidence that Editors “were the best live band in the world”.

The concert, which was the band’s first London show this year, was filmed and is due to be shown on Editors’ official website.

Meanwhile, the band are scheduled to embark on a 15-date tour UK tour next month.
