The Soundtrack of Our Lives, well half of them anyway, appeared at
Rough Trade East as part of the Record Store Day extravaganza. I wasn't sure how it would come across when I heard that the line-up would not include any guitars - just singer Ebbot Lundberg, keyboard player Martin Hederos and drummer Fredrik Sandsten - but it really worked. Might have been a bit strange for the first timer to the live Soundtrack experience as they are usually all action on stage, guitarists wind-milling and leaping about, but the stripped down, occasionally jazzy versions of some of their classics were a joy to hear.

Ebbot did attempt to play along with an acoustic guitar but after technical problems - why Rough Trade only had one working guitar lead is beyond me - pretty much gave up, concentrated on singing and let Martin's superb keyboards and Fredrik's drums lead the way.
Starting off with a cover of "Hurt", they also played some Soundtrack classics such as "Jehova Sunrise" and a fantastic version of "Mantra Slider" and thew in a unusual take on The Stooges "Sick Of You".
