Dale Earndhart Jr Jr, Barfly, Camden, Sunday 12th February 2012

A brilliantly poppy and fun show. It brought to mind Prince or the White Stipes bluesy rock.

There were nice touches through the set. They used a phone for some vocals. They sang into the guitar when a strap broke. They played a version of God Only Knows that seemed to do justice to the sounds bouncing around inside Brian Wilson's head. They jumped into the audience, and put arms around us. And they pulled out a absolutely blinding cover of 'I Wanna Dance with Somebody' at the start of the encore, in a tribute to Whitney Houston, and while wearing fluorescent tailored jackets, which really got the crowd going.

They made a massive sound for the three of them, and are obviously very proficient musicians. A really excellent and enjoyable show. The whole crowd left on a real high.
