America's 'best new band' (according to NME) were in London for one night at possibly London's best music venue on a massive, yet brief world tour that is seeing plaudits hailed on them from all directions.

Lead singer Nathan Willett has a voice that could charm the birds out of the trees, full of guts and soul and also pitch perfect. The fact this set included blues, soul, R'n'B as well as rock covers (not to mention all but a couple of songs from the band's debut album 'Robbers and Cowards')

The really funny thing was that after the gig a friend and I bumped into the band at Mornington Cresecent tube station and found them to be thoroughly nice chaps who love what they do (well who wouldn't love to get paid to travel). They were off to Japan the next day to commence the Asia-Australia leg of their world tour the lucky sods. Oh and they got off at Tottenham Court Road and were staying at The Pheonix if anyone's interesting...
