High Tropics @ Frankie’s, Sydney, 3rd Feb

“High Tropics sound – undeniably – like The Strokes. While that’s an easy opening to call them derivative, it’s actually a bastard hard thing to pull off so convincingly. This is chock full of big song, and a is a bloody good time, piling through Saturday night like a runaway truck, scarcely even noticing how many sacred cows it’s running over while it does.”
