This exciting new band make me think of dancing on a summer night. New, very unique and uplifting band on the indie scene (from London) hit Glasgow last night. The band grab your attention through a blistering set.
Lead man, Fyfe Dangerfield, commands the stage and your respect, with an unusual, strong and expressive voice. On one song Fyfe holds onto a small keyboard to his chest, singing without amplification, and holds the silent audience in the palm of his hand. Fyfe has the most wide ranging voice, he uses it like an instrument.
Words to describe this band innovative, surprising, unexpected, melodic. There are shades of the Kinks. Soft yet furious at times, this band enjoy making music, with free abandon, slashing sax, and many more effects. Over this put creative, imaginative lyrics. A classy blend of the best of pop. Stand out is the beautiful even folky song, Made Up Love Song, and also the touching , Over the Stairs.
The guitarist MC Lord Magrao, does his own thing, as does the Scottish drummer Greig Stewart, and their quiet lady double bass player, Aristazabal Hawkes, are all top musicians. This is a band about to hit the big time, they are touring Europe and London.
