A story, albeit a gentle, inconsequential one: my humble little band supported them when they played Brighton a few months ago... they soundchecked with the aforementioned "NYC", which was quite an introduction (a hymn? yes, I'll go along with that), and then, once they'd gotten over their bemusement at the venue's trip switch (which shuts down the on-stage power supply if you flout the preordained decibel level; rock and fucking roll) got chatting to us, and were delightful chaps. They loved our drummer's fills, and told her so, and she was thus reduced to a giggling schoolgirl for the rest of the evening.
The bass player looks so much like Kraftwerk (yes, all four of them simultaneously) that I didn't even notice the Joy Division thing; "New York Teutonica" was the tag that sprang to mind. And they briefly turned into the Strokes halfway through the set, which was lovely. Excellent band, must pick up the album soon. |
