Tall Stories @ The Barfly

Things have gone pretty spectacularly well lately for Tall Stories. Their first demo, the hyper-catchy “Things Are Strained”, was an instant hit with Radio 1’s Huw Stephens and Xfm’s John Kennedy, it’s fizzing new-wave pop sound gatecrashing the airwaves already in 2012. The live show is heavier than that track might suggest, with Scott Vining’s pummeling rhythms and Stu Maxwell pulverising synth bass underscoring the nervy yelp of Rob McCabe’s lead local. Playing in the pit of a Friday night at one of Camden’s most notorious party bars, this early-hours show will get messy – don’t miss out. Indie stars of the future.
