I like how Karen has to show the spinner, to prove that this is indeed a legit party game, and that Matt isn’t just being randomly molested by a Cyberman…

Oh my days, Matt Smith is certainly being molested by a cyberman

Los Campesinos are back! About to release their fourth album Hello Sadness, there has already been months of hype growing around this album. With new tracks ‘By Your Hand’ and recent single and title track ‘Hello Sadness’ causing waves of excitement across the music blogs of the Internet, followed by declarations of love for their “best album yet” by many a reviewer. Good stuff.

Starting tonight’s showcase is Brisbane band DZ Deathrays; this duo may only consist of a drummer and guitarist but boy they make some noise. So it’s unfortunate the thin crowd doesn’t seem to be in the mood to rock out, and despite the monstrous noise erupting from on stage DZ themselves seem to feel a tad held back. Hopefully this was just a refection on the crowds slightly-lame reaction, I got the feeling that at their own gig I’d be surrounded by a mass of sweaty bodies and getting covered in various fluids - kinda what I was longing for tonight.

It doesn’t feel that long ago since the band played this very same venue as part of The Great Escape festival just six months before, so it was inevitable that the show tonight would feel very familiar and perhaps even bring a sense of deja vu. Wasting no time Art Brut promptly take the stage and launch into their own classic ‘Formed a Band’, as ever intertwined with a little of Guns n Roses ‘Paradise City’, as frontman Eddie Argos makes his own dedication to the singer.

Tonights support Big Deal, certainly are being made a big deal of (oh ho ho) by scores of online bloggers and music magazines. Shy, demur, with heads down, hair across faces and mumbling into their mics, they’ve got the whole moody-indie stereotype thing going on, and I think had I not already known of the band that I may have been too eager to dismiss the for just another hyped up scene-band.

Actually what you have here is a very lovely boy-girl duo, singing delicate acoustic songs about the woes of teenage life. There is a wonderful and sweet chemistry between the two, every now and again catching each others eye and grinning as they played through songs from their recently released debut ‘Lights Out’, such as ‘Chair,’ ‘Cool Like Kurt’ and ‘Pi’, filling the room with their casual, breezy grunge sound.

I can still recall the first time I witnessed Slow Club; I was pulled into a random tiny tent at Glastonbury 2009 by a friend of mine who’d been raving about this boy-girl duo. I witnessed this awkward charm of a band who didn’t seem to realise just how good they actually were; no attitude or ego, they were just two people playing some songs on stage and even in the crowd at one point blurring the lines between performer and observer. Their gigs always felt like we were a group of friends watching our mates up on stage and they treated us a such.

Teeth, TEETH!!!, or T3ETH, whatever you decide to call them and in whatever accents you decide to do it, there is no taking away that they make dirty electro-noise in a Crystal Castles / Kap Bambino sorta way. The bands formation consists of Simon Whybray on drums, Ximon Tayki on laptop, and Veronica So on vocals. The band recently released their debut album ‘Whatever’ on Moshi Mosi, full of delicious fizzy-pop electro tracks.

The Maccabees have been on the rise and rise to success these past few years. The release of their second album Wall of Arms received fantastic reviews, as did their homecoming gig at Brixton Academy. Last year they headlined the ever-popular NME Tour, as well as make an extensive string of festival appearances before taking a well-earned break.

Whilst the news is airing daily footage of what we wish were scenes from a new apocalyptic movie but is in fact the world on our very doorsteps, we all need to find moments to just get away from it all. Tonight we find solace inside a bubble of chillwave bliss by Ernest Greene aka Washed Out, away from the madness that reigns outside.
