I’ve only ever seen them once before at Leeds Festival and their set was flat as a pancake, but the new album is great and I’m looking forward to giving them another chance at their own gig tonight.
Anyone know who the support has been on this UK tour though, as I can’t find the info anywhere?
yeah… saw them early on as just two people and a drum machine, it was incredibly intense. sexy rock. would like to see them again (enjoyed blood pressures album), but judging by online videos they seem more ‘just a band’ these days.
Another different opinion - I played their debut to death when I lived in London and I’m still very fond of it. No Wow was an apt description for their second, though I quite liked the sound (if not the songs, which were a bit weak for me). Midnight Boom was a classic in my view, mixing the playfulness and inventiveness of latter day Royal Trux (to whom they’re compared) with strong writing. In contrast Blood Pressures seemed workaday to me and so I haven’t really felt like investigating anything since.
