Thus Love - Live at The Louisiana, 21st August 2023

Life just isn’t fair, is it? If it were, Thus Love would be playing far bigger venues than Bristol’s 100-capacity Louisiana (with all due respect to the iconic room).

The self-styled ‘Queer Post-Punk’ trio released their fine debut album Memorial nearly a year ago and yet it hasn’t captured the attention of the mainstream for whatever reason (and there are surely many).

As musical injustices go, this ranks highly alongside the likes of Ed Sheeran’s ubiquity or Robson & Jerome preventing both Common People and Wonderwall from hitting number one.

Thankfully, the lack of deserved recognition appears not to have dimmed their enthusiasm, with singer Echo Marshall often struggling to keep the massive smile from her face during a concise and watertight 45-minute set. When not smiling, her expressive face generally looks pleased with herself, with good reason.
