Cayucas, 100 Club, London, 3 Sept 2013

Really fun and well structured show from the Cayucas guys. The crowd had a rgood time and enjoyed the chat between songs, about the band's travels to Dublin and Dorset.



Good variation in sounds, too - the numbers when the frontman put his guitar down felt really intimate at times and then at other points they really lifted off.


The band brought Afro-pop influenced airy summer sounds and a joyful Tuesday evening to the 100 Club.





Keebo, 100 Club, London, 3rd Sept 2013

Look 90s, sound alt-80s girl band, like they come from a John Hughes sound track. Round-style overlapping harmonies created hypnotic layers of sound. 



They also had good dynamics with effective shifts in volume and tempo. Some of the longer, stretched out songs sounded like Madder Rose as they built, fell away and built again. 

The songs have an unexpected Tropicalia feel which worked well for a sunny early September evening. The rhythm section did a great job at driving their sound, giving the songs real oomph.
