   "The band started with the opener from Primary Colours – Mirror’s Image and what an opener – I saw them a few years back in Benicassim and they opened with No Love Lost (the Warsaw track) and it blew my head off. This opener was equally mind-blowing. The (funky) bass player (not to be confused with the more perfunctory one) set the tone for the gig by warming my soul with the way he skipped around the stage with such joyous abandon - all fleet of foot and sinuous of bass line. I thought I had been transported back to the 1980s – then I realised I was watching a band playing the 1980s. It was just so not Horrors as to be fantastic and was symbolic of the new Horrors – and is an image that will forever be etched in my mind. It was downright funky moody and broody.
   
   I must admit I was sceptical about whether the Horrors would cut it live – after all Primary Colours compared to the first album is a quantum leap in terms of production. I can’t think of a track the band did not play from the album – and it was SUPERB. Whilst the influences are writ large and acceptable - there was no fast forwarding the fact that I Can’t Control Myself sounds even more like Spiritualized’s ComeTogether when played live and Scarlet Fields basically entwines itself around the melody of Love Will Tear Us Apart. I heard so many little flourishes of previous great bands I was unsure whether this was a good thing or a bad thing. The band finished with Sea Within A Sea and half way through as the keyboard solo cut in I half expected someone to shout out “Aciiieeed” ....... Then came the encores and the Horrors went back to their default setting and did a charmless cover of “Ghost Rider”, “Count in Fives”, the obligatory “Sheena is a Parasite” and “Gloves”. So this was a gig of two halves - yet despite the encore was still superb. If only they'd ended with No Love Lost! All those with eyes for White Lies and Editors ....best shift your gaze ....there's a new cover band in town and they are so much more interesting ....."
