Little Boots returned to Liverpool’s 02 Academy on Tuesday night, she had the gig in the larger Academy1 this time and there was just about enough space for everyone in this sold out performance. As the stage filled with smoke and to the military beat of a snare drum from one of the skeleton topped band, Little Boots shared centre stage with a giant glowing eyed black skull. Little Boots launched straight into one of her top 5 hits, which got the audience bouncing and the energy didn’t stop with them. Little Boots exuded energy throughout the entire performance, which also saw her playing three different keyboards at various times and shaking her tambourine while dancing along to the electro infused beat for each song. Also finding time for audience interaction, she was obviously enjoying herself just as much as the audience, especially during the final song of the night, Remedy, which ended with her twirling a pair of polka dot boxers around her head after they had been thrown on stage.
The inevitable encore saw her return to the stage in her dressing gown and sitting at the piano tinkling the ivories and performing an impromptu little number which is the lost track of the album.
Little Boots is a must see live and it can’t be long before she is crowned the electro pop princess. A title she truly deserves.
