Make Model, The Corrections, Kill Cassidy

Good to see the ever-enthusiastic Jeff acknowledged tonight for his down-the-front shenanigans to second on the bill The Corrections, but aside from an idly daydreamed moment when some FX kicked in and I found myself wondering why or indeed how would anyone get together a Pale Saints tribute act,or was it 14 Iced Bears? – neither would be a bad thing – their undeniably energetic stadium indie aspirations made little impression on your medicated reviewer.

Polishing off my contraband Scotch in an effort at solidarity with Glaswegian headliners Make Model, I felt a soothing warmth spread through my tired limbs. Was their endearingly retro hot-footed pop finally re-wiring some forgotten connections in my jaded and jangled mind? Hmmm, yet something’s not quite right – are they perhaps a little fatigued on this last night of the tour? Ah yes, they’ve just admitted it. Still, there’s backslapping all round and I can only regret missing openers Kill Cassidy and offer them the consolation that tonight perhaps no news is indeed good news.

All that’s left is the usual ranting. Great PA – can’t hear the vocals. What’s that about? Drummers hate singers – disproportionate number of said drummers become sound engineers? Turn it down a bit OLD MAN.
