It's been almost three and a half years since I last saw the siblings Freidburger in action, and it's kinda heartening to see that although their albums have moved in a more accessible, instantly likeable direction, their live shows are as unpredictable and crazy as ever. Bearing no heed to the original arrangments, the band twist, remould and completely overhaul their back-catalogue, shifting time-signatures and rhythms in weird and wonderful ways and delivering it all with the impeccible technical brilliance of Deerhoof. It sometimes took a while to twig what song they were actually playing and there were a couple of mid-set lulls, but with such a well-judged blend of old and new material coupled with exceptional musicianship I left hoping it wouldn't be quite so long 'til the next time.
