Sat 11th The Luminaire presents THE MORNING PEOPLE + Norton Money - Doors 8.00, £5 via WeGotTickets The Morning People are one of the most unusual and entertaining bands to have come out of Cambridge in recent years. Frontman Sam Inglis is well known there for hosting music nights at local venues, and has taken the opportunity to bring together some of the most talented musicians in the city to play his own songs. With a unique combination of instruments that includes pedal steel guitar, mandolin and Casio home keyboards, the band's sound is a distinctive blend of alt-country and leftfield pop, with catchy tunes and a skewed worldview that encompasses everything from Paul Daniels to God in his wilderness years. "The Smiths meet the Stones? Lloyd Cole? Cambridge's own Broken Family Band? There are plenty of post-gig opinions as to who The Morning People sound like, but the only thing everyone can agree on is that they sound like The Morning People." [www.netrhythms.com] Norton Money play west-coast-western-cowboy-ballad-hoe-down-ambient-rootsy rock. Dan and Jeremy both come from the San Francisco Bay Area but never met until they both ended up in London. Sweet harmonies and guitar licks like theirs aren't often heard on these shores. RSS |
