Norwegian, wearing black, NOT death metal

It's bright and early (well, ish) and Vicky Park is already covered in bodies sprawled over the grass. We say grass, but last night's revels crushed a load of it so it's more desert straw than anything else. Synth pop kings Lorraine are playing their biggest gig to date - not that you'd know, like Brian Molko at his best their singer (the rather gorgeously named Oleowns) the stage. Not so much a passing nod to the 80s as a big drunken snog, their songs are huge chunks of wistfulness and Lost Boys style promise. What it must have been to see this done in Barfly...
