Recipe for modern R'n'B album: liberal helpings of guest rappers and an overdose of sexual euphemisms.
I have to admit, this gig really wasn’t one of the most memorable I have ever been to. There can’t have been more than fifteen people in the audience, and three of them were the support act.
I can understand why when the band got on, they weren’t exactly talkative - it must be a bit of a knock to your confidence to see so much floor space in front of you.
The fact that they were supposed to play for 45 minutes and were on for barely 30 makes this gig a hard one to properly comment on. There was no banter between the members and I can’t remember one of them ever cracking a smile the whole way through. They played five, maybe six songs and that was our lot. They didn’t even bother to tell us what the titles of the songs were.
It's a shame because the band’s music is good. They describe themselves as ‘powerpop/disco house/melodramatic popular song’ and I think it pretty much sums them up. It’s very catchy; the kind of music that makes me want to bop my head, tap my foot and maybe even dance! It's because of this that I was really surprised by the turn out; the size of the audience didn't do them justice.
Despite the bad turn-out, I would definitely recommend checking out their stuff. Maybe next time when they play a gig in this neck of the woods, this little reporter will be able to exclaim how their gig was ‘oh-so-different' to the first time she saw them; the crowd was huge, the band talked endlessly, and cracked numerous jokes to the ever-dancing masses.
