Line-up as per launch
gig
(Review by Ann Alex)
The launch gig review shows one side of the EP
cover - the reverse, seen here, shows a brightly coloured partridge, very attractive, which
sets the mood for four bright, lively, assertive tracks.
Drive is all about driving your car as an escape from stress, so
the piano drives along powerfully, drums vary between lighter and heavier
tones, speeds vary, harmonies blend. An
exciting start. Then comes Heather, a love song for a sister, full
of amusing family reminiscences such as ‘when I was four and you were three you
tried to drown me’, gently sung by Elizabeth, (I think) and presumably
autobiographical. Thief And Fool is discussed as played at the gig, and All Roads is a spirited love song about
loving someone whether they are present or faraway. And readers simply must listen to the free
download, Trail Of Dead.
I’d love to see this
band on Jools Holland Later, they
won’t be the first North Eastern band to appear, the Unthanks folk band were on
last year. Wonder how you get on to that
show?
