Trouble In Paradise @ The Record Crate, 30th Dec

“Trouble In Paradise have a drummer who is basically taking the piss out of all of us. He is young, carved out of wood, he is dressed like a fucking Chippendale, and then spends much of the night peeling his clothes off. If any of the chaps in the audience aren’t sinking into insecurity by this point, you can assume they have been simply blinded by noise and heat and simply aren’t aware of what is going on. Thankfully, the rest of the band divert attention by being rather awesome. This is muscular pop-rock, hints of Elvis Costello, The Hives, even Eric bloody Clapton. It’s like your dad’s stereo actually worked out how to be amazing one day. Fun stuff, bags of talent, and a fine old way to end the year’s gigging.”
