There's no denying that Hue are the local sweethearts that got away, although they managed to make their way back to London in late January during their tour with Vancouver band Beekeeper. London trio Glass Thieves opened the night that was to end at midnight but, due to bad timing, ran longer than originally planned. By the end of the night, no one was complaining.

With their own brand of "indie rock noise," Glass Thieves took the balloon-filled stage. These balloons were printed with phrases and websites but ended up getting popped more than read, which distracted from the actual music. The band, formed of members Adam Fortais, Andrew Dal Cin and Benjamin Kehoe, were joined by a number of special guests throughout their set. More More's Chris Martin, Lewis Gayfield's Matthew Trocchi and New Zebra Kid's Aaron Simmons may have offered something different to the set, but for anyone unfamiliar with the group, it may have been confusing as to who was actually in the band. Despite having too many people on stage and a poor cover of local band Whipping Wind's "Please" that sounded like a bad open mic performance, Glass Thieves proved to the crowd that they have a lot of potential.

After the popped balloons were cleaned up, Beekeeper took the stage. This trio features male and female harmonies and back and forths. In a line-up including just a guitar, bass and drums, they went about showing those unaware of their presence in the music scene what the west coast is capable of, proving that more of a simple performance can be just as powerful with their lo-fi pop sound: no gimmicks, just music. Their music induced toe-tapping throughout the venue and acted as a perfect climax for the night, paving the way for their tour partners.

The headliners for the evening, Hue, ended the night off right as the brother/sister team of Danny and Jessica Paton lead the rest of the band through a collection of catchy pop rock melodies. The multi-talented members of the band moved from instrument to instrument with ease between and during songs. Their ability to create a smooth, clean sound made it as if you were listening to their album Starting Fires and made the wait more bearable. Hue closed the night with their dance-worthy single "The Bump," which was the perfect closer to what was meant to be an early Wednesday night, proving to everyone that sometimes it's worth leaving the house on a school night.
