...I'm seeing them in London tonight and will report back.
Saw them last night at the Barfly in brum
They were pretty average and uninteresting. The singer out of the support band, Absentee I think, had the most fantasitc voice though. Reminded me of that band who had a hit with the mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm song years ago.

Absentee were deadly dull - alt-country music to ignore. Singer has an impressively deep voice but they are very uninteresting as a live band.
Shout Out Louds weren't a lot better. The best received songs were ones that sounded a bit like 'Everything's Gone Green' era New Order, but most of their set was fairly plodding.
