"Diplopia Music Showcase Night" review

Line up: Apollo’s Arrows, Waking Aida, Boxer and Sean McGowan
Venue: Hamptons
Date 31/3/2011

First band up were the acoustic duo Sean McGowan who were called in at the last minute due to two bands (Cardinals and Pharaohs) unfortunately pulling out. Their sound is somewhere between Jamie T and The Libertines, singing about political and personal subjects made this an intriguing opening act.

Boxer were the next band up (not really sure what to say) Our first gig with new bassist Toby, having only found out a few hours before that we were going to be play it went well (and loud apparently) A half acoustic, half live band set added a good dynamic to the gig.

Waking Aida were brilliant (ok I only caught one song, but it was) I was told that their set was unfortunately plagued by technical difficulties which is truly a shame as they are one of the best bands in Southampton.

Headliners Apollo’s Arrows normally make a hell of a lot of noise for a three piece but on this occasion were fairly subdued which wasn’t their fault. They still managed to put on a great show particularly the end, which included most of their equipment (and singer) sprawled out over the stage.

All in all it was a very good gig with some great local bands, the Southampton scene seems to be going from strength to strength with acts like these.

Jola

April warmly welcomes not only a little bit of Spring this year, but the highly anticipated EP release from Jola, a Southampton based singer-songwriter whose soul and jazz influences juxtaposed with the swanky productions of Mark Goble music has created something truly irresistible to the ears.

The forthcoming Ep ‘Crystaleyed’, much like the name suggests aims to deliver a multi-faceted listen, a concept that takes on many different influences and inspirations to create something that has put a new spin on conventional formulas.

Songs range from ambient, dance trance house sounds, to pop ballad through to smoky soul breaks and conventional R&B to bring together a package which the people on the street like to call “R&P”, mostly uheard of, is the new Rhythm and Pop that this EP is credited with.
