Oedipus and the Mamma’s Boys then struggled to fit onto Sleazys’ stage, but with their eight-strong lineup they certainly packed a punch musically, the fairly complex arrangements being ably handled by the band and the guys on sound (Nick and another chap, BM believes). With the usual indie band instrumental lineup supplemented by horn, sax, fiddle and further guitar they came across a bit like phase one era Arcade Fire, singer/guitarist Charlie full of fury in the first couple of numbers (the “drugs” song, for example) before a duet (‘Stretched/Kitchens’) with bassist Jemima showed a more subtle side to their sound. The latter part of the set had more of a mariachi flavour to it (well, an Edinburgh version anyway) as they repeatedly urged the crowd to get dancing.

During the last couple of numbers (starting with ‘Matches Down’?) the use of electronic backing across the general din was pretty devastatingly effective, at least to these ears, adding to the furious wigout of guitar feedback. Last song (which may have been called ‘Kill Bill’!) gave the audience a chance to shout the chorus, also a “sit down, stand up” routine which probably got people moving a bit more – this could have been chaotic, and frequently seemed to be going that way but the band have the flexibility as musicians to keep it together. It only looks as though two of the tracks played are out in the wild (BM thinks Charlie did mention something about a new album, and they are playing Edinburgh Banshee Labyrinth in a couple of weeks). Anyway, BM was hugely impressed – miss them at your peril!
