The band as a whole dominate the venue, it’s frankly astonishing this band aren’t filling arenas or even stadiums. Tom and Matt fit into the roles with ease, Quigley plays the keys like a sighted Stevie Wonder, Steele eases his way into the numbers with subtle but definitive ease aka Bennie Maupin. Martin and Donald have unique on-stage chemistry interchanging between drums and percussion, we even get a bass duel between Donald and Jez, both slapping the bass like it’s the last things they’ll do on this earth.įurther highlights in the set include Good Together, Won’t Stop Loving You and Shack Up, all featuring the tambourine queen Denise, as she gracefully takes to the stage like a modern day Aretha. The crowd fill up the compact venue nicely, support band Sink Ya Teeth play their brand of upbeat electro-pop to an eager crowd of punters, the audience reach boiling point at around 8.30.Įntering stage right legendary founding members Martin Moscrop (guitar, vocals, drums, trumpet), Jez Kerr (bass, vocals) and Donald Johnson (drums, vocals, bass) welcomed by a bevvy of attendee noise launching straight into Do The Do, Fight before And Then Again rumbles the crowds hips like an atomic noise bomb, there’s no let-up from these Manchester musical titans. With assistance from the distinguishable figure of soul singer Denise Johnson (Primal Scream, Electronic) plus Tony Quigley on horns and Matt Steele on keys, the setup is simple but the key factor is all the players know a thing or 2 about their instruments and how to achieve a musical leverage seemingly not of this worlds thinking.
