| Profile: Jaqui Brown | I'm in my second year studying Social and Cultural Studies with Film Studies, which even though may not have many lectures; I'm convinced that there is way too much reading! The Rescue Rooms and browsing through records at Selectadisc seem to be my favourite library/work avoidance techniques. I like to think I'm fairly eclectic in my taste of music, but Radiohead and all things Thom Yorke-ish will always hold a dear place in my heart. Nothing beats the fuzz of vinyl, the Sheffield tones of Jarvis Cocker's voice, and a Jack Daniels can make anything better! |
Well if a ‘best party ever’ was to happen, The Boy Least Likely To and BC Camplight tried their darndest to make it happen tonight- an effort that wasn’t wasted as the crowd seemed to love it. BC Camplight (25 year old Brian Christinzio) was supporting tonight and provided the audience with a great set of country/soul/pop songs. Hide, Run Away (the title of his debut record) and Parapaleejo, were highlights of his set - both extremely honest accounts. Christinzio pre-warned the audience about his mixing of antibiotics with whiskey, but to be honest, it didn’t seem to make a shadow of difference. The Boy Least Likely To were magnificent. Their enthusiasm and energy onstage was immense and this really transpired throughout the audience. Jof Owen (vocals) and company provided us with a lot of twee country-disco-pop, but in the best possible way. The fact that they can use a recorder in their songs and actually get away with it should speak volumes, because it’s hard work! With songs such as I’m Glad I Hitched My Apple Wagon To Your Star and Monsters, it really is hard not to like this band- we can even forgive them for supporting James Blunt (just!). The bubble machine for last song and forthcoming single, Be Gentle With Me, was a lovely end to a fantastic set and the audience couldn’t stop smiling. ‘Tweeness’, so it seems, is infectious. |
