The Vibe Bar in London bore witness on the 4th June to the rebirth of the 90’s rock and power pop band Let Loose. Best known for their huge Summer anthem Crazy For You, the band also stood out from the then plethora of boy bands because they played their own instruments, penned their own hits and didn’t dance ! Frontman, lead vocalist , songwriter and sometime producer Richie Wermerling is the driving force behind this reincarnation, Lee Murray had some input into the recent album release and Rob Jeffrey hasn’t fully ruled out a future interest but the vast majority of the tracks from the new album Paint It In Gold are fully penned and sung by Richie. The album was released independently as a limited edition on the 5th May and the new tracks had been absorbed by the fans .Richie has gathered around himself a talented young bunch of musicians with raw energy and enthusiasm, Grant Spicer, Marc Danecker , Jamie Spicer and Rob Lane have played alongside Richie for some time now , but other than a couple of warm up gigs this was the first major outing for Let Loose 09. The only question now was, would the new Let Loose 09 sound translate into a full blown live gig?

Let’s get that question out of the way first, then with the answer being a resounding yes !!!

The set list was a good mix of new and old, and as song after song met with excited acclaim it was clear that the guys had now fused into the new Let Loose. The old standards were in there Everybody Say, Super Sexy Real Thing and the finale Crazy For You received the full rock treatment, whilst 17 and Best In Me benefited from new acoustic arrangements. Paint It In Gold the title song from the album, and possibly the most “Let Loose ish “ was perhaps the best received new track making it a strong contender for a future single release although the haunting lyrics and strong chorus of Beggars and Thieves ran it a close second. U and Me Against The World was another moving, anthemic song. There were echoes of Richie’s days with Bottlefly in the witty lyrics of Those Days Were Fun , in which the teenage years when your wall is covered with pop posters were humorously evoked.

Hearing the tracks on the album is great but to hear and see them performed live moves it to a different level. From swaying ballad to bouncing rock and back again the crowd were energized by this set list and the exciting on stage performances .If you didn’t get to this gig, make sure you do to the next, old and new fans of Let Loose will find themselves having a ball and going just a little “Crazy”.

So here we are just a couple of days away from 'The Gig'!! I can't believe it's come around so quickly! I was in the USA back in February when Richie text me about a possible show date and back then it seemed ages away. Since then there's been a shed load of very long rehearsals and evntually things have really come together. Anyone who knows me, knows I HATE rehearsing, I really do. It doesn't matter what band it is or who is playing with me, it's nothing personal, I just don't enjoy it! Maybe it's the huge ego bubbling inside me that just wants to play live! ;)
I take my hat off to Richie though... he knows what he wants. I'd have been happy with learning the tunes, rehearsing a couple of times and BANG away we go. BUT, what we have right now is a set that is totally different to that. Richie hears things the rest of us don't and pulls the best out of everyone's playing. Good man!
Some of you may or may not know but we've done a couple of 'secret', 'low key', 'warm up' shows before Thursday's gig just to iron out the kinks and make sure everything works. The first didn't run as smoothly as we'd hoped what with a late soundcheck and numerous other hicups but last weeks student gig was a lot of fun. Sure, I'm guessing maybe only a handful of the five hundred strong crowd had no idea who we were but we won them over in the end and it's really made me excited about how everyone is gonna react to songs they know on Thursday night.
The new album 'Paint It In Gold' is gonna be well represented in the set but there's gonna be plenty of old 'classics' in there... some slightly reworked into a cool new format and others just how you remember them.
I really hope you enjoy the show and make Richie a happy man... he's stressed far too much over this night and it's gonna be great to see it all pay off and have him doing what he does best.
See you down the front!!
