Thanks to Electrelane I was treated to one of the most amazing musical experiences of my life. Honest. The show was incredible, watching them construct their songs and moving with it was nothing short of amazing. Four friends, who had never really heard their music before trusted in my guarantee and came with me. All of them left that night stunned with what they had just been witness to. Honest. I couldn't believe I was closest to the stage with wiggle room all around, if we all knew better I would have been head-bob wrestling all night.

A surprise treat of the evening was Anni Rossi who upon cancellations and short notices came up with them from Chicago. She played the viola every possible way imaginable, plucked it, thumped it, strummed it. This generated a myriad of sounds to accompany her voice, which she also twisted and bent. This multitude of sounds coming from two instruments, well three, there was boot stomping, was delightful.

A good article on Electrelane's new album.

enjoy your weekends,
