Jebediah + The Fuzz, The City Lights Heaven, 3 September I must say Adelaide, I'm slightly disappointed. Three awesome bands do us a favour by making a stop over and only a few of us had the decency to turn up. Luckily as the night grew more and more people wised up and at least caught the main attraction. First up was The Fuzz followed by The City Lights. I was pleasantly surprised at the entertaining shows put on by both but it was the 'Lights boppy combination of 60's and 80's pop rock that was stripped back to incorporate their own signature style that really impressed me. Their cover of the 1960s band The Tamrons Wild Man complete with monkey noises was hilarious. Danny Allen strummed his guitar so hard and fast that I was sure at any moment he would break his arm while his percussion solo was a brilliant display of the bands diversity. Given the scarcity of folk in the crowd special mention goes to the groover in the front row who was having a good time on the behalf of everyone there! After a latish start (probably due to waiting for more folk to arrive) Jebediah poured on to the stage and pulled out yet another fantastic performance. There was a balanced mix of oldies and newies played and even though the crowd went nuts at the more well known songs, the opportunity to hear the newer songs live for the first time was a long-awaited desire finally satisfied. Stand out tracks were It's Over, First Time and NDC. It wouldn't have been a Jebs show had Harpoon not been played and they didn't fail to live up to expectations. I always knew Kevin Mitchell was a talented musician and when he won half the crowd over by playing his guitar with his tongue without missing a beat, I was simply astounded! The Jebs were even joined by The City Lights on stage for Leaving Home even though we were assured that wasn't part of the script. All in all, another brilliant performance in the history of Jebediah.  |
