One Eyed Jacks were never going to be boring with a name inspired by David Lynch‘s seminal Twin Peaks series. Having recently released their debut EP ‘In Memory…‘ the boys are now taking on a bunch of live dates around England including a recent Proud Galleries show.
When the London quintet are firing on all cylinders they can bring to mind an amalgamation of The Coral and The National and even a bit of early Radiohead.
Sombre tones and layered guitars are slowly unveiled in dream like crescendos offering to take the listener on a sonic journey. Strap yourself in.
I just got back from a weekend in Paris covering Rock En Seine (full reviews and photos coming) where I saw a great performance by Kitty, Daisy & Lewis in front of an appreciative crowd if not slighlty bemused audience. The band are back on British soil now and are playing what is essentially a homecoming gig at Camden’s Proud Galleries on Wednesday 2nd of September.
Having also supported Coldplay on their huge North American tour it will be interesting to see how the North London siblings’ 50s tinged rock n roll will change in a smaller setting. Undoubtedly they will enjoy being able to see the audience’s faces again.
Support on the night is provided by a DJ set from Monsieur Rob Da Bank as well as Sunday Best protégées Lucky Elephant.
If you are in London tonight and stuck for something to do check out Sunday Best Party at Camden‘s Proud Galleries.
Proud is already one of my favourite London venues and this lineup featuring sets from Rob Da Bank, Bastila, Mr Hudson, Micachu is really worth checking out.
