NEKO CASE (London Union Chapel, 15/08/14)

Bit of a weird one, this. Severe technical issues meant that Union Chapel had to resort to a substandard rental PA, plus Neko and her band were obviously suffering from major tour fatigue which resulted in a show that, whilst still perfectly enjoyable, wasn’t as memorable as it should have been. That said, “Night Still Comes” was still bloody brilliant, and support act Jeffrey Lewis once again converted an initially ambivalent audience into fans of his erudite, politically conscious, frankly brilliant folk poetry.
