Review: Jenny and Johnny, Luminaire, London UK, 10 December 2010


Top rock'n'indie pop. Now I understand the rave reviews. I've been enjoying the album and thinking 'Lemonheads and Juliana Hatfield' but this set rocked out. The set was full of energy – didn't hang about between songs and high pace. There's a back catalogue that we weren't aware of but like a lot.

For a new band you could see their experience they knew how to plan a set and performed it really well. Jenny has a great voice and they both were really good musicians without being showing.

Johnny's falsetto was impressive and it was good to see Jenny singing lead on so many of the tracks, rather than just doing backing.

The kind of group that make you want to buy a guitar and start a band.

  1. I enjoyed their record!! Speaking of Julianna Hatfield though. I read her autobiography last year and it gave a real insight on what life is like for a woman in her 40s still active in Rock. The idea of having to walk from a small "dressing" room behind a bar, through the drinking audience and then wait in line to use the rest room was an eye opener. Somehow I would think that she deserves more.
