Art Brut @ ULU

This was my third viewing of the Brut, but the first at a proper venue. And my, don’t they all scrub up well. The new – ex Art Goblin - guitarist looks to be well broken in now and the nights various technical difficulties with sound/guitars/mics/whatever were well covered by Eddie “comedy” Argos.

They are such an inclusive band the audience has no choice but to love them. And we do, even Eddie’s dubious facial fuzz. The bands performance is energetic, shambolic and euphoric, as Eddie’s does his version of a lyrical jackanory, instructing us in the Art Brut way of life. He sings/speaks his stories of new girlfriends and sexual dysfunction with wit and humility. – Then, once we’re totally won over, we are instructed to buy the new single in “All. Three. Formats!”

Top of the Pops? Only a matter of time. Are you ready Art Brut?
