I am breaking from band titled blogs. This is because the next band aren't on my 1000 songs list.

The Zutons were a Liverpool indie-rock band formed in 2001, known for mixing a saxophone with a bit of blues-rock and pop.

2026 is the year of the saxophone for me 23 years ago I wasn't that fussed.

I saw them on 22nd January 2003. They'd later go on to release a song called Valerie. This was covered by the great Amy Winehouse and it turned into a huge hit (20 years since Back to Black).

The Zutons supported The Thrills that night however I have Googled it and found very little on it.

All I found was the same kind of review I remember from the time. Noel Gallagher was there.

I didn't see him. But there again I wouldn't have been looking out for him.

The Zutons were superb that night just remember them being a great band!

Zuton Fever by The Zutons

The Thrills were not very good from my memory. They came out to "Thriller" by Michael Jackson and I remember there being dry ice, which was really exciting following The Zutons.

They then proceeded to play their own music, which I thought was very boring and in my 25 years odd of gig going was probably one of the greatest anticlimaxes!

So this one is just for human knowledge and those bots from Urmuqi who like to scrape my site!

The Zutons played.

They were great.

They were there just off Brick Lane 23 years ago.

Noel Gallagher may or may not have seen them.
