Mars To Stay<\/a>. I like. They made me crave Stray Borders. Singing drummer evoked Phil Collins. Balding, black polo neck. Waiting to see if he fucks off to Switzerland mid-set. I want him to whisper more. Or cry. They sound as if Galaxie 500 fell down a well and kept playing. Or Mazzy Star’s little brother. The last song sounded like Weezer if they’d not only taken, but only listened to Codeine and Morphine. I like.<\/p>\n

R.Seiliog<\/a> are fucking great. After being mocked, justifiably so by Steen due to my general antipathy toward instrumental music, I had low hopes. This is like Kraut-Groundhogs. Steen knows fuck all. It’s like the early seventies but with the technology to make music that sounds brilliant after 4 pints of Silent Slasher. This may be be pretty specific. If you like Wolf People or Endless Boogie you’ll lap these fuckers up. If Kraftwerk listened to a little more Quicksilver Messenger Service they’d sound a lot like R.Seiliog. Who are better than Y Niwl. Just sayin’.<\/p>\n

Step ladder<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The visuals are fucked. It’s either lower league football or blue screen. People are sat on the floor. They have their legs crossed. Let’s begin.<\/p>\n

It’s hard for me to take the piss because I genuinely think that Hail! The Planes<\/a> are amazing. Only partly due to Holly’s ‘hotpants only’ policy. The sound guy is having issues. Post-folk issues. Fuck knows where to go with comparisons, let’s say Sigur Ros\/Beirut\/Explosions In The Sky\/Dirty Three. Sometimes you just need to see a band. Even when they’ve replaced a filthy centre back on bass with a huge, morally sound centre back. Like Terry for Carragher. Jazz drumming, there’s fucking jazz drumming and I still like them. Bastards. Does anyone remember Hope Of The States? They were great.<\/p>\n

To balance my review, my mate, Hefin Rees<\/a>*, said, ‘If she wasn’t wearing hotpants I’d’ve left ages ago’. A lesson to you all there.<\/p>\n

*Hefin insisted on being name-checked here. Although he was shitfaced.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
