SUNDARA KARMA – PIE AND VINYL, 22nd February 2017

Sundara Karma Pie and Vinyl

As I write this article, some of you will no doubt be watching Sundara Karma playing to a sold-out crowd at the Wedgewood Rooms.  Earlier in the evening however there was a buzz of anticipation outside Pie & Vinyl, as Sundara Karma prepared for their in-store performance at Southsea’s record café.

In attendance were those eager to hear the band play a stripped back set ahead of the main event, mixed with fans who had left it too late to get tickets. The store may have doubled in size since it first opened in 2012, but it is still small and cosy in structure, as such the perfect setting for an intimate affair.

With a signing session to follow, this was a brief set consisting of just the 3 acoustic numbers: “Olympia”, “She Said” and “Loveblood”, all of which taken from the debut album “Youth is Only Ever Fun in Retrospect”. If you’re already familiar with the band, this was a chance to hear the songs in their rawest forms. Truth be told, for myself I had little to go on prior to the performance.

As such this was more a chance to be part of the atmosphere, hear a couple of nice-enough songs and grab a pie for the walk home. For those seeing the band on the bigger stage later the same night, I can only imagine it sounded somewhat different.

Order vinyl records online at the independent Pie & Vinyl Online record store.
