>> King Tuts
>> Cord, Hazey Janes & Invisibles
Every Emo-boys favourite friend Mr. Myspace has launched the UK version of the website with some corking live shows all over the country. There's a sister Glasgow show down at the Barfly with Lick favourites the Cinematics heading the bill, but tonight I'm in King Tuts for Cord, the Hazey Janes and the Invisibles.
Maybe it's the weather, but Tuts is dead tonight. Invisibles seem to have brought some loyal fans along, nodding their heads to every pounding song and there is a real belief from them that this could well be a band with a big future. Songs like Catapult and the anthem-like Problems With Drugs will surely propel this band to great heights over the next 6 months.
Dundee's the Hazey Janes deliver their usual friendly power pop performance to an every decreasing crowd, and just simply allow the songs to speak for themselves. There's nothing spectacular in terms of the show - except the spin tingling harmonies and superb song writing, with Toulouse being by far the strongest track.
Norwich boys Cord finish off the night with what at first sounds like a slightly mellow Queens of the Stone Age style of guitar based rock, but as the set moves on other influences like Radiohead and Coldplay definitely take a front seat. Front-man James Leeds is a like-able character, strutting around the small stage with a forced, Tony Blair-ish smile on his face - knowing that the 12 people in the crowd can't be disappointed. Still, the songs are strong with forthcoming single Winter a definite hit.
So myspace.co.uk is off the ground (as if it wasn't before). Lets have some more great live shows from you please - but this time with a larger crowd.
