Little Friend, John Almeida's brainchild, presented A Substitute For Sadness, their second album, Friday evening at Hard Club. Stripped bare, as they had been presented life up till them, Little Friend's songs are gentle, little gems. With band- Sílvio Minnemman (drums), Tiago Serôdio (keyboards), Fernando Sousa (bass), - and guests Mimi Sá Coutinho, co-vocals on Somber Song, Sattelite, Curtains and Hypodermic, and guitarist Ed Rocha Gonçalves on Hypodermic the songs gain the beautiful richness and orchestration that can be heard on the album.

It was a lively, captivating show that transmitted with flying colours both the melancholy as well as warmness of Little Friend's two albums We Will Destroy Each Other A Substitute For Sadness.

The main part of the show ended with the groovy, danceable Too Cool For School followed by a one song encore, Black Sheep from We Will Destroy Each Other.


Opening act Time For T (solo) presented a handful of guitar and voice only songs.
