Erland and the Carnival played lively, moody Rock'n'Roll with a spiky sound and seemed to have developed and grown as a band since we saw them at the Luminaire in Kilburn in Jan 2010.
Porcelain Raft were one man, a synth, a guitar and a haircut, with falsetto-y singing with drumbeat pretty high in the mix.
The Vaccines played a brutally short set, but were blistering through the six songs they played. They looked appropriately moody and grumpy throughout, especially the singer, and it wasn't quite clear how much that was put on. Great show, though, even if it only lasted abotu 15 minutes and left a lot of people puzzled ('Was that it?', 'Are they coming back?'). Could have done with at least a 'Goodnight' of this is our last song.
erland and the carnival blew the shit out of that gig
ReplyDeletewhen is the record out? Vaccines ok but too short
ReplyDeleteBe glad you saw the Vaccines. You'll never see them again. Everyone's been annoyed on their tour with how short their sets are and how little they care about the people putting money in their pockets.
