Lineup and details for Late Greats, The Souvenirs, The Fideal Effect, Capper on Thursday 25th September 2008
The Late Greats
- Sandwiched between Brighton and Hastings, the seaside town of
Eastbourne is the unlikely outpost and home to future alt-rock heroes,
The Late Greats. In equal parts intelligent, intense, chaotic, earnest
and fragile, the four piece have quietly bided their time over the last
12 months, writing and recording their debut album (in between epic
bouts of table tennis) thus honing the sound of The late Greats.
Single Futures Gold comes at you like a slap around the face and opens
with the immortal line, “HEY! I’m pleased to meet you / and all your
stupid faces”. Relentless in its tempo and urgency, the band blend an
apparent love of lo-fi US indie/alt-rock (Sonic Youth, Pixies,
Pavement) with a truly English delivery, glittering with melodic gold.
Touring and gigging over the last year with the likes of Late of the
Pier, Blood Red Shoes, Hot Club De Paris and Howling Bells has
developed the Late Greats into an incredibly tight and thrilling live
band. Co-vocalists Max Arnold and Ryan Griffiths compliment each other
perfectly: Max is assured and confident, while Ryan huffs, puffs,
shouts and stamps like a man possessed.
The Souvenirs
On first listen to The Souvenirs. You can hear the influences aplenty.
The Smiths, The Kinks, The Who, Morrissey and a whole host of other
acts. With catchy hooks, strong lyrics and solid rhythms, they have
increased their fanbase in Derby in a short space of time, adding to it
every live show. More and more people are waking up the sound of The
Souvenirs.
James Capper
-
Within the space of a year, James Capper has already created a large
loyal fanbase who follow him passionately around the Midlands singing
his songs back at him. Featuring well written personal lyrics depicting
real life situations in a conversational manner ala Alex Turner, while
the music takes influence from some of the noughties most influential
bands like Arctic Monkeys, The Courteeners and The Kooks.
