I don’t understand why the Breakout nights at the Barfly in
Milo Greene, a five piece from the West Coast of America, are going to be your new favourite band. This was the last night of their first full
Yes American, but also a full album of top quality folk songs that you just want to stamp your foot to. Their searing group harmonies had the teenage girl in the front row swooning at one point I’m sure, and with songs such as Don't You Give Up On Me, Cutty Love and 1957, they had the room controlled. This is a band to watch in 2013.
Khushi show promise, with some witty songwriting and interesting melodies, they are for fans of Villagers who are looking something to get their foot tapping a little harder.
Echotape are indie Rock ‘n’ Roll through and through, and I’m sure the lead singer had been reading ‘Rules of Being a Front man’ the night before coming on stage. He fulfilled the role with the arrogance required to hold his fist in the air for a full minute when no one else seemed to be that bothered.
The odd one out was Leanne Robinson, a well oiled pop act who would have been more suited to playing in one the swanky bars around Chalk Farm rather than the upstairs at the Barfly. Nothing drastically new here to what you would hear on the radio.
If you do one thing this weekend, check out Milo Greene, you won’t be disappointed. Their self titled debut album is available now.
