Thor, and list,
Hi everyone.
Just a brief follow up to Thor's helpful info. Saw the Chap last night in Glasgow and was very impressed. A small friendly venue who's crowd was filled out with the support band and both band's mates I think, but none the less a very good performance well received.
Lots of energy, sweat, broken guitar strings and violin bows disintegrating before our eyes. Made me realise how dull a keyboards'n'decks-only performance can be!
A good blend of guitar band energy, click'n'scratch backing, good beats and quirkly vocals. I think these guy's'll go far.
