*with Bleached
Starting off the night was Welsh singer, Cate Le Bon. She came onto
the scene semi-recently when she opened up for Gruff Rhys (of Super
Furry Animals) a few years, but US fans might know her from seeing her
with St Vincent.
Her haunting voice and music has this medieval folky quality to it
that made me think her music belong to a different time, perhaps the
middle ages, or the 70s. The live songs played are either a slow burn
or a burning blaze, but equally enjoyable. Highlight of the set was
"Eyes So Bright" with her "I love you-oooh-ooh" lyrics and her closer
song, "Ploughing Out", both parts one and two.
I actually have both her album, Me Oh My (via Irony Bored Records),
and her new one, CYRK (via The Control Group Records). Both are
available now.
Despite all their songs sounding the same, I have to say that I like
Bleached. But then again, I do have a thing for grrrl rock. Their
music and attitude is that of 90s garage rock, a bit of punk as well.
Looking over their cover art, the two sisters, Jennifer and Jessie,
seem to have a thing for trash porn.
As you can see from their set list, they did play their new December
2011 single, "Searching Through The Past", a 750 limited 7" pressing
that sold out.
Seeing Veronica Falls live, it seems like Roxanne Clifford and James
Hoare are too shy to be on stage. I personally think they should speak
more, exploiting their British accent, which I think are adorable.
Speaking of which, their music is very indiepop cute.
As expected from a debut album, they practically did the whole album
live, throwing in a couple of brand new songs near the end. Memorable
songs from the set, for me were "Bad Feeling", "Stephen", and their
last song, "Come On Over".
PS, If you were wondering why I'm going to shows in February, just to
clarify: I am still in winter hibernation, but the weather's been
great lately, it's like winter never came. I'm still reluctant to
accepting shows as it can snow at any corner.
