The Clause, The Bracknall, Crystal Tides, Slates, The Velvet Hands, Montello, The Lilacs, The Rosadocs, and Girlband

The Clause nailed it. After following the progress of the boys online for a while it was great to finally go and see them live.

We turned up in time to see Kanvas which was great to see another local band.

The Clause kicked off with Tokyo and Sixteen before sharing some unreleased material and also notably playing a cover of Kasabian’s ‘Club Foot’.

The pinnacle of my evening was the performance of ‘where are you now?’ before which Pearce thanked the crowd and talked about their rise from playing infront of 100 people only a few months ago to now playing infront of 500 people; selling out the Birmingham Institute2. The crowd joined in the song all the way through which seemingly brought a tear to Pearce’s eye.

An absolutely brilliant gig and I can’t wait to see where these boys will go. This is only the start!

mop top noise pop ...of the highest order. it's been said more than once that these garage rockers wouldn't be out of place in the cavern, liverpool, in the 60s. big tunes and feedback. its a YES from me!

These guys still rock like nobody's business. You've got to bring 'em back! Rabbi Levinsky may just be the coolest rabbi, like, EVER. But can we all just hate Kenny Kurson for still fitting into the skinny pants he wore on stage 25 years ago?

Up the fucking charms. I only watched the charms and they were fucking shit hot. Matty Barron is one beautiful bastard, and so is Ross Fowler. Right crowd is biblical
