    Anyone else catch their show in the village last night? Excellent stuff. Trumps Bloc Party for best gig so far this year, for me. Not one weak song in the set, they just oozed confidence. Every note was hit spot on, without the slightest bit of vocal strain. They pulled off tempo change after tempo change without even a hint of a mistimed pluck, hit or strum. And they just looked so happy and genuinely engaged while doing it all. Love is just a game was the best song of the night which was met with a cheer that seemed to last for days as the song ended. Forever Lost, the single, sounded fantastic too, as did the strokes-a-like number straight after Love is just a game. Go buy the album, and don't miss them at your summer festival of choice.

    Brilliant gig alright. They just have such beautiful stage presence. The harmonies were perfect, it was just great. Totally wont the crowd over. Forever Lost was the highlight for me. Love Is Just A Game got a brilliant reaction too. Hymn For Her was excellent, but kind of wrecked at the start by a lot of chatter. I agree with everything ishrink said, not much to add really - just one of the best gigs for me this year.

    yeah saw the gig in the village the other day - very good stuff. hadn't heard anything by them but had just read a few interviews and the like. as the people have already said above, their harmonies and vocals in general were the best i've heard live in ages, everyone was on top form. the sound of the guitar was top aswell - nice and clean. will be buying the album and going to see them on their return. A+

    Gig was brilliant on Friday-they all looked so happy to be on stage playing their music that I just couldn't stop grinning right through the set! The album is out on Friday and for those who nabbed tickets to Oxegen they'll be playing Sunday the 11th July on the new band stage.Can't wait!
