Zero 7 @ The Roundhouse, London

Last night Zero 7, with their all new line-up, took to the stage for a sell out performance at Camden's Roundhouse.

It was a strange feeling for both the audience and the band as long time vocalist Sia was not here, replaced instead by Zero 7's latest signing, Eska Mtungwazi.

Eska did a great job too, knocking out foot tappers like 'Medicine Man' and 'MrMcGee' and taking on Sia's hits like 'Destiny' - with a little help from the crowd.

The band were tight, the lighting exciting and the night an enjoyable juxtaposition of acoustic guitar purity and electronic strobing madness. But although their latest album 'Yeah Ghost' doesn't seem to miss their ex-Antipodean singer - their live show really does. The band have worked hard reinterpreting her tunes in all kinds of new styles but like a football manager who's sold his star striker it has affected the team's performance.
