The set begun however with their critically acclaimed single “Tennis”, which inspired said tennis ball incident warming up the crowd who quickly got on board with the band’s blend of electronic and guitar based music.

The group went through hits old and new with airings of recent single “Jumper” as well as performances of older songs such as “Grand National” and “Popshop!”

This was all intersected with enjoyable stage chat in addition to audience participation via the medium of a cowbell which was embraced fully by the audience to mixed results.

The evening ended with a stage invasion by adoring fans, rounding out an enjoyable night, watching one of the UK’s most exciting up and coming bands.
