First up, local trio Jacko. Alt rock with a bit of a funky rhythm.
Jon Epworth and The Improvements were up next; I'm not sure their performance could actually be improved on, except to be made significantly longer. A dynamite set. Epworth has a great voice, great players in the band, fine songs. These guys could have been on Stiff back in the early 1980s with Elvis Costello and that lot.
Rebekah Higgs was also very good; her rootsy sound garnished with electronic sounds made me think a bit of Jim White.
Finally Bloodlines; sometimes they made me think of Soundtrack of Our Lives, at others The Webb Brothers. You can get a better recommendation from me, but it's not easy.
As per usual, more on this at a later date.
- Show reminder: The Clientele, Beach House and My Dad Vs Yours play Babylon.
