[Manchester, England] Their music isn’t immediately striking
but I loved this band. They’re the band I keep remembering out of the 30 I saw,
and it doesn’t make sense because I don’t listen to music like this. They’re a
boy and a girl, whitey white, blonde-y blonde. The guy wore a white shirt and
black suit. The girl wore a tight black outfit, Robert-Palmer-girl style. They
look like a rich couple who were dining and spontaneously broke into
electronica. Or like step siblings who sleep together, like a scene from a Brett
Easton Ellis novel or Cruel Intentions. The performance was cool calm and
collected, as was the music. The guy was on an electronic drum pad and other
electronic paraphernalia. The girl primarily sang but sometimes played electric
guitar, Robert-Palmer-girl style. Their look matched their sound – clean,
driving, pure vocals. She’s gorgeous, but her real appeal was the genuine
quality to her voice, performance, and lyrics. She made you feel like she’s a
perfect restrained person who is letting you into her personal world – like the
feeling you get when you make a shy person smile or tell you their secrets. Cool
and entrancing and true – I don’t think I would have been as impressed if I’d
only heard them, but their show was excellent.
