The Mae Shi/Dananananaykroyd

Dananananaykroyd
Second time I’ve seen them, and just as much fun. Running around in the audience, screaming vocals, tons of energy and drumming to die for.
The Mae Shi
Hugely entertaining and very crowd-pleasing. Slight hints of math rock with 8-bit backdrops.
Bonus entertainment points for Calum Gunn’s comedy raffle at the end.

Pinback/Phosphorescent/Prego

Prego
Post-rock by numbers. Accomplished, but boring
Phosphorescent
Beautiful voice and keys. Shame about the bassist and his attention seeking ways. A good find, regardless.
Pinback
Keeping it old skool with plenty of non photo-blue vibes. Pity 95% of the audience had never heard it and it’s chums though.
