First, Those Gulls, who had something of a loud-quiet dynamic going on for the few songs I caught, supplemented with violin, along with a bit of a post-punk feel.

It seems like a dog's age since I last saw The City Above. I saw them on bills with Fucked Corpse and Daiquiri (they were definitely the odd man out on that one) and Acres (a better fit) at the begiining and end of 2007. They were once again without a bassist, and once again reminded me a lot of Failure. Something about Ross Henwood's deadpan phrasing is a ringer for Failure's Ken Andrews.

The Darcys like their shoegaze to buzz along under yearning vocals (they've garnered a Thom Yorke comparison, which I can sort of hear) and have a very energetic stage presence.

It was a fine and fuzzy evening.
