The Bar Academy is one of Birmingham's more intimate venues and even on a good night you'd be lucky to find more than a hundred people squashed into its compact area.
Maybe it was the short notice that the tour was arranged at, or perhaps the presence of the infinitely more popular Kooks next door but a small crowd was present to watch The Envy Corps on their first proper date of the tour.
The new album 'Dwell' is released this week and the band played most of the tracks with a genuine attention to musical quality which will hopefully see them picking up a few more fans as the tour progresses.
