Papa Roach Gig Review
1st October 2006
Academy 2, Manchester

Papa Roach returned to Manchester to promote their new album ‘Paramour Sessions’, and proved that they are as good as ever. In the intimate surrounding of Academy 2 they mixed their set with songs from both old and new albums, in an energetic performance which left fans wanting more.
After entering through a black mist, they immediately leapt into new single ‘To Be loved’ and from that moment on the energy never left the room. Supporting on the night was The Bangkok Five, who never really managed to gets fans excited and could only generate cheers when asking ‘who’s here to see Papa Roach’.
When the main act did enter though, the fans when crazy and never let off until they left. They performed all the big hits, including ‘Getting Away With Murder’, ‘Between Angels And Insects’, and also slotted in songs from the new album which were well received by the crowd.
Papa Roach gave their fans a real treat, and no doubt people who didn’t get the chance to see them will be wishing they had. Don’t worry though - they will be back on our shores in February next year.
