THE GIG
Flyte support Bombay Bicycle Club - Exeter, Great Hall


Fresh from unveiling the Kirsty Young shrine of theirs in the ‘We Are The Rain’ video (it has to be seen to be believed - above), Flyte are still doing the rounds with Bombay Bicycle Club. Their biggest shows to date continue in Exeter tonight.

THE BIG NEU THING
Taste Nasa - Ordinary Touch


Auckland sun-soaker Taste Nasa likes his fix of funk-splashed, sax-enhanced disco. It’s easy to imagine him being the kind of guy strutting down streets in spandex suits, giving strangers his number while downing a can of supermarket pre-made mojito. Yeah, it’s seedy. Sure, it’s the musical equivalent of getting brainfreeze from too much ice cream. But ‘Ordinary Touch’ is a brilliantly shameless dose of queasy pop.

OTHER NEU BUSINESS
28 Boulevard - Electric Feet


Stuffed-full of more fuzzy hooks than a short-sighted angler fishing in a bear cave, ‘Electric Feet’ is a fresh slice of grunge-rock with a British twang. Everything’s coated in a glorious lo-fi haze - but it sure doesn’t substitute any catchiness – with frontman Tim Lloyd Kinning’s snarling vocals and sharp guitar licks creating something both electrically-sparked, and pretty darn exciting.
