Lavender Hills + The Bronsons + Eliphant + Transmetropolitan

Lavender Hills-Driving indie rock that nods to Artic Monkeys and Biffy Clyro on the faster paced numbers and Radiohead on the more reflective cerebral tunes, bit of a funk rock undertow at times, strong tunes too The Bronsons–  pub rock and rhythm n booze revivalists in a Brinsley Scwartz via Ducks Deluxe sense, plus a bit of acidic Dr Feelgood punky boogie woogie oh yes. The Count Bishops and The Inmates are also reference points via a little counter cultural trippy blues. A great night out in themselves. Eliphant- Psych pop , strains of late 60’s U.s garage pop too, but this has that R n B fuelled slightly whimsical late 60’s brit feel, decently hooky and an authentic retro sound, fine work. Transmetropolitan- – 4 piece 2 chaps 2 chicks playing folk (there’s some very fetching fiddle) – but kinda lofi indie psych folk- which is great- somewhere between The Velvets and the Fairports with Nancy Sinatra on vox….alluring stuff, I like.
