It's been a hectic couple of months for the band, what with bedding in a new bass guitarist, having chart hits (the Pete Doherty assisted Their Way), and touring and getting arrested with the Babyshambles side-show, so the band are getting back to focusing on some low-key shows, headlining in their own right, and just playing the music they like. Banter between numbers is kept to a minimum, but that doesn’t mean the set is a sombre affair. Front man Andrew Adeling’s deadpan style of vocal delivery still allows a wry smile to crease the corners of his mouth, especially when the crowd are dancing in front of him, which they do tonight.

The five piece, compromising of drums, two guitarist, bass and tambourine shaker manage to avoid falling into a sub Shambles dirge, and even slip some Cajun style guitar variations into their efficiently delivered set that contains neatly delivered lines ("I've done something quite terrible/I've told the truth") which border on the right side of pretentiousness. Will they ever become the Big’ans? Time will tell. Without the backing of Doherty, it’ll be interesting to see how much of th spotlight they can keep. |
