They tap!
Indifference begone, we've seen our first truly great random band of Reading, and they wear tap shoes.
Yeah, you heard that right. Instead of having boring things like drummers and percussion, this lot provide beats by sticking taps on the three girls feet while the two boys hit guitar and keys duties.
In terms of sheer balloon action in the crowd, this could easily be mistaken for a female Tiny Dancers gig. There's a huge and appreciative audience in here, all clapping like proud parents and getting into the tap like they'd been born into it.
It's not hard to like, that's for sure. Great tunes that veer from folk to Spanish to pop to indie in the course of one set, plus they grin like kids who've just reached the top of the climbing frame. They can't quite believe how much they're liked but damn, they really should. |
