A fascinating triptych of quirky and slightly awkward individuals.

Uniting audiences old and young with their obvious Go-Betweens influence, the comradery in the room is palpable.

"After the success of 'Up To Anything' and recent single 'Make Time 4 Love', the hype around the trio fell more than flat."

The band's loose but energetic drum fills, keyboard noodling, and unpredictable song structure were endearingly chaotic, with plenty of woozy dissonance and mid-song gear shifts.
