If you’re going to tour before your album is even out then you’ve got to bring something pretty good. The dapperly-dressed and clearly talented Labrinth did, only they were mainly his collaborations with other artists.
The Duke Spirit review at Brighton’s Komedia

When The Duke Spirit took to the stage with their first song Into the Fold I was a little bit worried. There was a lot of energy but it seemed forced and though it was musically fine the great voice from the records just wasn’t there.

It’s not that often that a band of white-twenty something’s get a crowd soul clapping on a Friday night, but that was before The Milk turned up. The dark and intimate Green Door Store was packed with people about to be shown a good time by the old school genre hopping four-piece.

It’s not every day that one of Wales’ quirkier exports takes to a stage somewhere between Jesus and a porta-bar, but that’s what Marina did on Saturday night.

It feels like Clap Your Hands Say Yeah have been away for quite a while, although it’s probably more that they’ve never quite managed to capture the excitement of their self titled, and originally self-released, debut album.
