Now close your eyes and imagine Red Hot Chilli Peppers style vocals with some dark and sometimes deep tribal beats. Add a twist of soul, and you will be on your way to understanding Mula's music.

.By the second track everyone had gathered on the dance floor just in front of the stage and the atmosphere had completely changed;, it was now both invigorating and inviting..

They are a local band and with the right management, they could really make it.

Radio 1 has already warmed to these lads. Last time Mula played the Gloucester was when Radio 1 live was there back in October 2003.

By all accounts they had the place packed, so it was disappointing to see that there were no more than a handful of people there this time.

The atmosphere was very dry and almost draining, that is until Mula stepped up and started their set.

By the second track everyone had gathered on the dance floor just in front of the stage and the atmosphere had completely changed;, it was now both invigorating and inviting. There was not a soul in the house who was not tapping their foot.

For Mula to turn the atmosphere around in a deserted club on a Wednesday night, that in itself must say that they have something special.

They are not perfect and on a couple of tracks, they lacked a little direction but I guess that would be down to production.

If you get a chance to see these live go, see for yourself and I am sure you will agree that they have that special something, the x factor.
