Compare to the crawdaddy gig little under a year ago, I felt a shocking lack of passion thoughout the set. Things were alot freeer and less reliant on backing tracks at my previous incounter with telepathe. They had a john waters lookalike on guitar and keyboard which give them room to experiment and they werent just stuck behind theyre equipment, they breakdown the audience band divide.
Even with the bass all the way up, I feel the gig to come across very limp but one thing I have to say is Academy 2 sound is super and it has a great atmosphere, unlike most venues in dublin.

Wish I’d gone to this now.. I saw them both times they played here before and they were alright but very obviously unsure of their craft, it sounds like they’ve improved significantly in the interim.

Great review!
The girls were indeed brillant. It is a bit of a surprise when you see those almost shy girls coming up behing their synthetizers, computer and other electronic gear and they create such a mad sound.
Brillant stuff!

The photos are great too, who took them? They represent very well the vibe those girls were creating.

Any time I attempt to put on my music critic hat, you manage to blow me out of the water, Alan.

Great review. Great gig.
