Superannuated Supergrass can still put on a fine show
Supergrass were the puppies snapping at the heels of Britpop big dogs Oasis, Blur and Pulp in the mid-'90s – basically because two of the band were barely out of their Oxfordshire school and they exuberantly sang about teenage japes, from 1994's adrenalised introductory single Caught by the Fuzz onwards. This youthful, anarchic energy helped send debut album I Should Coco to the top of the UK charts, which immediately presents a problem for a 30th-anniversary show starting with that record played in order, in its entirety. That is: while I Should Coco is resplendent with bangers – the most famous Supergrass song, Alright, is merely the album's fourth-best single (and perhaps its eighth-best tune) – there's a palpable difference in vibe between watching a bunch of fresh- (and famously hairy-) faced kids rip through them in a sweaty club in the '90s, and middle-aged men humbled to play them in this most venerable venue 30 years later. Still, a delirious Mansize Rooster and the epic thump of Lenny thrill as they always did, Strange Ones greets you like an old mate you couldn't be happier to see again, and the bluesy swing of Time brings one of several blissful changes of tempo. Even We're Not Supposed To, an early, acid-fried bedroom goof that somehow made it onto the album, has its charms in this context. Better yet, helped by some early sound issues finally having been sorted, is the fat-free selection of Supergrass favourites that follow the debut's run-through. There is, wisely, nothing later than 2002's Grace, which means we get to hear Richard III still rock like a beast, and the sublime Moving soar and stomp with delicious abandon. Plus, it's always a joy to get close to that place where the Sun Hits the Sky. Danny Goffey remains an unstoppable force behind the drums, bassist Mick Quinn's underrated backing vocals (when you can hear them) and Rob Coombes' sizzling keys prove their redoubtable value, and Rob's little brother Gaz, in his barrow-boy trilby, still exudes loveability when singing, playing his guitars or even just speaking between songs. But it seems that it's only the unavoidable missing X factor of, dare one suggest it, youth that just holds back this very fine Supergrass show from being an all-time great one.

Supergrass Review: I Should Coco at 30 tour prove '90s legends are as fresh as ever
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info It's hard to believe it's been 30 years since I first heard Alright being blasted out of the car radio in my parents' Ford Escort. A rare instance when I'd convinced them to play Atlantic 252 instead of the regular MoR American rock tapes on our summer trips to west Wales. A tune that booted through the semi-serious posturing of '90s indie and that has endured for the decades since. It's a great song; fun, vibrant, perhaps has the catchiest opening of all time, but it's a song that is just the tip of the iceberg that is Supergrass' effortless back catalogue. Celebrating the 30th anniversary of debut album, I Should Coco, the band were welcomed into Cardiff's Great Hall by a crowd full of old and new fans who were champing at the bit for the record in full, topped off by a setlist of great(est) hits. Mercury-nominated back in 1995,the calibre, and pure nostalgia, this record comes with is insane and hearing it performed live and in full for the first time ever was a real pleasure. Of course there's Alright, Caught By the Fuzz, Mansize Rooster, Strange Ones, regular live songs over the years, the treat came with the airing of rarer live performances of album tracks such as Lose It and Sitting Up Straight. The setlist was topped up with hit after hit, including Moving, Richard III, Late in the Day - three songs that are amongst the best tunes of the '90s and three that also happen to be among my favourite ever. I'm admittedly slightly biased. Best of all, though, is just the easy joy and shorthand passed between band members - Gaz Coombes, Danny Goffey, Mick Quinn and Rob Coombes have that easy familiarity of a band that's been a unit for more than three decades (bar the hiatus and also Rob joined back in 2002). Not only does that enrich their music, but that fun on stage spreads in waves over the audience. While hankering for '90s nostalgia might be the current fashion, Supergrass' timeless songs sound as fresh as ever.
