...were good. Nothing earth-shattering, but very pleasant all the same. The material from their debut (which I'm unfamiliar with) actually came across better than a lot of the Van Occupanther stuff- they cocked up my favourite track "Young Bride" with an out-of-time intro and insufficient energy to make the song really come alive, which saddened me no end. Still, apart from the uninspiring encore, there was no doubt they're a very talented bunch and the very positive audience response definitely reflected this. In fact, the band seemed positively overwhelmed by the adulation- 'twas a great atmosphere, especially for a London show. Perhaps not as great a show as I expected, but by no means a disappointment either.
NEXT ON THE LIST: Feist, Camera Obscura, Twisted Folk (with the Earlies, Adem et al.), CSS, Peter and the Wolf and Cat Power. Damn good month for live music... :-)
