Coming off recent
sets at Splendour in the Grass, The Cast
of cheers and Django Django's. It
was their first intimate gig on Australian Soil, and where else to kick it off
than Melbourne’s Corner Hotel.
As soon as The Cast of Cheers took stage, their own
excitement to be playing swept the room and they instantly captured all
eyes and ears with there mix of creative electronic loops, varnished lead and
rhythm guitar work, cooperative drum and bass and standout lyrics all in which
only became sweeter and sweeter as their set progressed. But it was to be
'Animals' and 'Trucks at Night' which created most enthusiasm amongst the Irish 4.
They finished off their set with dancy improvisation that created a buzz in the
room and high expectations for the main act of the night Django Django.
Entering the stage
wearing matching purple and red t-shirts and starting their set with “Hail Bop”, the English based foursome
had the packed out Corner Hotel hanging off every note. Django Django produced a set which not only contained all their
songs off their self titled debut album but improvisational synth elements and
catchy percussion which left them energetically bopping around the stage. Too
much highlight was 'Skies Over Cairo'
which made you feel and dance like an Egyptian as well as 'Silver Rays' which incorporated energetic synths. Giving a
convincing "Goodnight" the
corner remained in an anticipating darkness and on return to the stage wailing
sirens sounded and they flung themselves into 'WOR'. Django Django
convincingly met high expectations and with many references of the night in
regards to a return to Australia. The funny thing was that they were announced
a week later on the Bill for Falls Music
and Arts festival line up, for this up and coming summer so keep a eye out
for them.
Get on Cast of Cheers debut album 'Family' and Django Django's self titled debut album both of which are available
on iTunes.
