Not particularly a great year of gigs for me. Oh Sees and Ty Segall, both of which I'd anticipated greatly felt like slightly heartless displays in technical trickery. Both playing at The Boiler Shop by Newcastle Central Station, a rather soulless venue even if Robert Stephenson's Rocket was designed and built there. By comparison this young band, from close to John O'Groats were altogether much more heart-warming. Playing a fine set in a small indie club just round the corner from me, they have the tunes and draw on influences such as Grizzly Bear and The Band that auger well for whatever they choose to do next. They were also very friendly and likeable when I spoke to them after the show.
