Possibly the first hot shit band I've actually seen ahead, or maybe on, the curve. These guys kicked off their set with instrumental chimp favourite "Yoga Means Union" building up to a powerful rockathon. 'Tight' is the adjective of the moment.

After that things moved along with a remarkably sequential set of the first 4 or 5 tracks off their album. Then a few new songs, which were more like the non-favourite tracks off the current album, but these new ones were good - so some re-appraisal is due. Straight A's and a few more to finish, then the fastest encore of all time - finishing with a homage to some Westcoast roots with a cover of Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere.
