Certainly Bravecaptain, aka former Boo Radley Martin Carr - the headline act on Wichita Recordings' ‘Music Machines Tour’ - would agree. Thanks to the aforementioned gremlins Carr shambles on stage some 30 minutes late, mumbles a bit, press a few buttons, makes a few Squarepusher-esque noises for about, ooh, ten minutes, apologises, then says “Goodnight”. Sure we can’t blame him for the shortened set but it would have been nice to see Carr sitting at that piano of his and at least attempting to rescue things. Based on this we’ve no idea what Bravecaptain’s new album, ‘All Watched Over By Machines Of Loving Grace’, sounds like, and that’s a real shame.

Ho and indeed hum. Which pretty much sums up Weevil, although to be fair this correspondent only caught the end of their set. Weevil are pretty much two blokes prodding buttons making pedestrian indie with added squelchy bits... a vague description for a vague sounding act.

Thankfully though, Her Space Holiday are much more focused. Fronted by Marc Bianchi (pictured), HSH open with a classy take on ‘My Girlfriend's Boyfriend’, from 2003's ‘The Young Machines’, and turn the technical gremlins to their advantage with a melody of hip hop, breakbeats, dub-heavy bass, indie guitar and even a bit of R Kelly for good measure. A friend of a friend of mine keeps referring to them as ‘Her Space Odyssey’, which seems an apt description. It's a shortened journey into sound for sure, but taking a trip with HSH is a trip worth taking. Wish you were here?
