I decided to see The Academic after seeing them a couple of times last year as a support act around Europe. Expieriencing a whole set was really worth the travel. The show was great, The Academic did once more a fantastic job. I also liked Siobhan Winifried as support. The venue was a good size to be pretty close. It's located perfectly close to the beach and the city center.
