Leagues, 16 March 2013, Paste Party 2013

Leagues channeled funk and the spirit of disco, saying 'It's music to make you feel good, so let's feel good together.'
With a nod towards Scissor Sisters or the Red Hot Chilli Peppers more melodic moments, Leagues played early-80s style disco funk and the singer was a great everyman frontman. The made the kind of sounds Freddie Mercury might have headed towards with Queen after Another One Bites the Dust or the Pet Shop Boys with more passionate vocals.
The band do not look like they sound, or like they've ever been to Nashville, let alone that they come from there. But they were great, like Elbow mixing with The Gossip. They even played with two basses at point (literally double bass playing), which was brilliant.
