MTV Review: Glamour And Hits As Peace Re-Open The Hammersmith Palais For One More Night!
The Midlanders delivered an impressive set, even in the most unusual of settings...
A working gym could well be one of the strangest places Peace ever play, however if last night's gig is anything to go by (22nd May), this is a band capable of turning just about anywhere into a glitzy, Indie disco.
The site was actually one of London’s most iconic venues, the Hammersmith Palais, which has been shut since 2007 but yesterday opened its doors for one more time as part of Skullcandy’s #StayLoud campaign.
Ahead of the gig, MTV UK caught up with Peace's frontman Harry Koisser who had recently returned home following the band’s tour of Australia…
“There is a sort of excitement to play back in the UK and to play to our fans,” he explained. “I’m into the intimate shows, I can’t get enough of them.”
Taking advantage of the intimacy, the Midland natives delivered a loud and raucous performance playing tracks from this year’s Happy People and 2013’s In Love.
The excitable crowd bopped, cheered and jived their way through a stellar set which included ‘Lost On Me’, ‘Bloodshake’, ‘I’m A Girl’ and ‘Wraith’, all in touching distance of the group.
The Indie quartet managed to live up to their credentials as a live band and looked more than pleased to be one of the last bands to play the historic Palais. They certainly delivered.

I've an empty room
Inside this chew
You need no name
The old and bruised
In stolen shoes
You feel the same, baby
Not on what you wear
Or length of hair
Is at ease to define
The god that you beat
The sound from your lips
Is truly divine
You're chemically so heavenly
Never been too far
Get lost on me
(Get lost on me)
Get lost on me
(Get lost on me)
I love it when it hits
The lightning from your lips
It's lost on me
(Ha-ahhh)
I've a royal love
Not common blood
Let me colour your bones
Sometimes the simplest thing
Elegant stint
Resounds the most
You're chemically so heavenly
Never been too far
Get lost on me
(Get lost on me)
Get lost on me
(Get lost on me)
I love it when it hits
The lightning from your lips
It's lost on me
(Get lost on me)
(Get lost on me)
Chemically so heavenly
Never been too far
Get lost on me
(Get lost on me)
Get lost on me
(Get lost on me)
I love it when it hits
The lightning from your lips
It's lost on me
Get lost on me
(Get lost on me)
Get lost on me
(Get lost on me)
I love it when it hits
The lightning from your lips
It's lost on me
