Band play packed party in London pub

The Enemy played a set in a south London pub tonight (November 25) as they helped launch the voting for the Shockwaves NME Awards 2009.

Tom Clarke and co made a special trip from their studio in Wales to play the intimate gig at the Prince pub in Brixton, performing in front of guests including Babyshambles' Drew McConnell and The Reverend, plus competition winners.

Watch video footage of the gig by clicking below.

The trio blitzed through a set based around 2007 debut album 'We'll Live And Die In These Towns'.

"It's been pretty full-on in the studio, so it's been great to get our heads around the old songs again," frontman Tom Clarke told NME.COM. "It's going really well in the studio, but it's nice to get back to civilisation for a night."

He added: "I like these awards, it's great you give the record-buying public a chance to vote. Winning one this year was a real honour."

The Enemy played:

'Away From Here'
'40 Days And 40 Nights'
'Pressure'
'Technodanceaphobic'
'Had Enough'
'Aggro'
'We'll Live And Die In These Towns'
'This Song'
'It's Not OK'
'You're Not Alone'

What a shite band, I think the wank of a lead singer in modelling himself on Liam Gallagher, he'll be hoping to follow in his shoes when he grows up, I think not...
