2007.

Gordon Brown became Prime Minister, the first game was played at the new Wembley Stadium and American teenager Chris Crocker went viral after uploading a video to Youtube screaming 'Leave Britney alone!'

But for many late teens/early 20s, it was also the year a little known band called the Pigeon Detectives emerged on the indie pop scene.

Their debut album Wait For Me, filled with songs about going out and things never quite working out with the opposite sex, was the soundtrack for many university students' summer.

Almost ten years on to the day I first saw them perform live, they were back.

And while we all may have got a little bit older and (as was pointed out during the gig) have a bit more cash to pay for gig T-shirts compared to our student days, two things haven't changed.

1. The O2 Academy in Liverpool is still one of the few venues that is hotter than the Sun and 2. This Leeds five-piece still know how to put on a stonking good show.

Springing around the stage like a cross between Carles Puyol and Roger Daltrey (he's got really curly hair and likes to swing his microphone around), lead singer Matt Bowman rolled back the years performing their platinum-selling debut album in full.

Stand out tracks a decade on included 'Take her Back’, ‘I’m Not Sorry’ and ‘I Found Out’ but to be honest I could probably list all 12 tracks from the album in this space with the crowd belting back every shouty lyric.

And despite it being around 105 degrees, the band somehow kept their now slightly more mature crowd bouncing like it was, well...2007, from the opening drum solo to the very last guitar strum.

Roll on 2027 for the 20 year reunion.
