Beat Live Review...


Last week's BeatLive showcased two talents one of which we at Home have experienced before and another... Well, the other was a special treat.

First off Caracal played a momentus set of their catchy sing alongs with enough energy to tire even the duracell bunny out. These guys are young and they play hard. Hard, not in the sense of some gutteral form of industrial hardcore, but more in their involvement and enjoyment of their music. If you read their words on their 'myspace' page they are a band very much with the intent on getting the audience involved in their music. They did in fact do just that, with the rock star swinging of the bass guitar to big widening grins on all of their faces, they are a band that love what they do and are doing what they love. Hat off from my court to a young group of talented individuals who are giving this scene some fuel and enthusiasm.

Next up was the annonymous 'Nuance'... A band perhaps heard of by you but not by me, I had the fortune of showing you guys all an interesting photo of them in the studio. More folky than anything else, but I am with a reluctance to pigeon hole any musician or band into a corner pocket, these guys were something different. Great melodies and song writing, one song even sounded like their own interpretation of Chinese Opera... Immense. Keep your eyes out for both of these bands, we should be holding them again soon. In the meantime? Well in the meantime, come down for Music for Good's Off Beat on the 26th of this month for two very special guests... Who you might ask, I'll let that simmer for a little while but let me just say it will be epic indeed.
