The Electric Soft Parade review

I’d heard none of their stuff before and for some reason I was expecting a synth driven band, but lo, a four piece rock band descended. With well crafted rock tunes towards the heavier end of the scale and full of hooks and catchy verse.

The singer tells us he’s not been to the IOW .... pretty irrelevant, but at least they are trying to bridge to the audience.

The Brighton based boys play Misunderstanding their new tune, I know this because he told us, and it’s a pop fuelled number with nice harmonies and the crowd get more into this swinging beat.

The set gets a bit more rock and they continue with their nice tunes. Captain of a Sinking Ship is briefly noted as having a bit of a tune about it as I head for the queues.

They take time to thank British Sea Power for the champagne, and they’re polite with us too. It’s nice and pleasant for a 5pm chill out slot too but I doubt I’ll remember any of it by the time I’m back on the ferry home.
