Wasters @ The Townie, 16th Sep

SHOW NOTES

Wasters’ drummer, apparently, has a never-ending nosebleed, so instead of the full band we get singer James and an acoustic guitar. It’s a bummer to miss their modern-grunge pop, but an unexpected pleasure to see the distorted machine stripped back. James’ voice is exposed in this setup but stands tall nonetheless, seeming a bit more powerful over the rich, clean guitar. Songs that normally get my bounce on in full-band version, like recent single “I Don’t Believe In Jesus”, aren’t just de-electrified, instead revealing the strength of the songs behind them. It’s a pleasure to watch.”
