This was a lunchtime in-store gig to promote Rialto's self-titled album, and as it was taking place just around the corner from my office it seemed rude not to go.
The band were onstage for the best part of an hour and I think played the whole album, including the singles "Untouchable" and "Monday Morning 5.19". They were a very tight live band and I must confess that I thought their brand of classy indie rock would take them a long way. Louis Eliot is an extremely good songwriter and I suspect that the reason that the band didn't get much further (they released a second album "Night On Earth" in 2002) was simply because they weren't heard enough!
