When: Tuesday 30th October
Where: Corsica Studios
Why: Birthday prez for a friend (and also because we
love them)
Basically the Corsica Studios is a bit too cool for me. It’s
connected to a club venue under the rail bridge at Elephant and Castle, and is
suitably grungy and intimidating. However I was saved by the fact that it was
the lovely Mt. Wolf’s EP launch (if you haven’t downloaded it yet – well why
not? It’s on iTunes and everything. GO) and so lots of their family were there.
Basically the front row was us and the grannies. Which was brilliant.

The support acts weren’t totally my bag – proper electronica (and I won’t name names but one had a band member who my
mate pointed out looked exactly like a finger-puppet, which caused me to bellow
with laughter while standing far too close to the stage). And although the Mt.
Wolf’s performance was a bit different to expected (because obviously when I saw them previously
they were all acoustic and that) they were actually even more brilliant and
energised. I was also thrilled that they re-created their cover of
Usher’s ‘Climax’ which is just better than the original. My friend
described Kate (the lead singer @katemtwolf) as singing “with her whole body”
which is so true, and her voice is so angelic-interesting. All the band
members are musically tremendous and creative, and they’re a joy to watch.
I think you can still get tickets to their headline gig at
XOYO in February – go fer it.
