Guillemots @ Brixton Academy


Funny band, the Guillemots. Incredibly cool, transnational wig-out genius, known for such Beta Band-esque tricks as using a typewriter on stage and taking a power drill to their guitars. But also in possession of some of the most up-their-own-arse fans this side of a Jethro Tull gig. But then if you call a song 'Trains from Brazil', I guess you're always going attract accountancy wankers with dreams of far off climes and long hair.

As ever the band produced the goods, and for the last night of their tour still seemed pretty energetic. Just a shame the crowd were dead from the neck down. Maybe they should stop being the critics darlings for 2 minutes and build up some real fan base. Or maybe I should stop being so judgemental. But I kind of prefer the first option...
