I was looking forward to watching Slow Club after hearing them occasionally on 6Music, etc. I really enjoyed their twosomeness. They also reminded me of The White Stripes but were sufficiently less po-faced (although, I've never seen TWS live so maybe they show their enjoyment more then). Also they have a similar set up of percussion girl and guitar lad. I enjoyed watching the two of them bounce off each other musically. It's made me think that perhaps twosomes are my favourite musical combination. My First Tooth are another example. I like the few tracks we downloaded and I'd definitely be interested in their album as their lyrics are quite smart too. Once again at university gigs, I thought the crowd were unresponsive and that Slow Club deserved more from them. Happily at least they were joined on stage by some comrades for the final song, Let's Fall Back In Love. I think that some of them must have helped record the tracks we've downloaded as they sound fuller and richer than the 2 piece can produce on stage. In summary, yes, two on stage is definitely company. Well it was an interesting gig.
