Welly @ Parish Dive Bar
Saturday 30 November 2024
Welly is one of the most exciting new acts in ages (Dork Magazine). Crashing together the best bits of escapist pop, indie-disco, punk and DIY electronics, the group—made up of Welly and his school-mates—show early ambition to reconnect the great, grassroots British tradition with the mainstream band. First single, Shopping, for instance, was a riotous love-letter to the UK high street, as compelled by the arch, art-rock of Pulp as the left-field bangers of Girls Aloud.

Cut Glass Kings @ Parish Dive Bar

Cut Class Kings knowingly or unknowingly continue that Midlands bloodline, updating it. Take ‘Fever Dreamin’’ for example – think Tame Impala if they’d grown up in Birmingham biker bars, or a Black Country Allah-Las. Whoever they’re compared to, be it the obvious power duos like Black Keys, White Stripes, or the American fuzz-punks – Cut Glass Kings are powered by a definitively British engine, more T-Rex than T-Bone Walker.

Originally sitting alongside neo-progressive greats such as Marillion, IQ, Pendragon and Twelfth Night, they set themselves apart from all others with the inclusion of electric violin and strings, a folky feel without being ‘folk’, something that they have stuck with throughout their musical career. They fall smack bang in the middle of the musical Venn diagram of prog-rock, folk, neo-prog, acoustic
