Somewhere I have a record by Pussy Galore which is called SugarShitSharp.

That just about describes how White Denim were in The East Village Arts Club last night.

I had bought too many tickets and wasn’t able to get rid of them all but that didn’t matter because whatever money had been paid over would have been worth it. They were one of those bands where straight after they have finished you start thinking when am I go to be able to see them again?

They followed the golden rule of all good concerts and there was no changing round of guitars despite all of the guitar solos that appeared to be played either inside out or back to front and the bassist stood stock still throughout.

They were so good I bought two t-shirts.
