Gig was atriumphant homecoming The Wedcgewood Rooms 6th April 2015
From the Portsmouth NEWS

Launching in to your new single for the first song of your set is about as good a statement of intent as you can get.
But To Be Young, released on Monday, is a vital reminder of just how good this band have become. They can already sell out gigs in Southsea with ease, and the rest of the south coast is starting to come round to their neo-psychedelic rock as well.
After a string of well-received gigs in Brighton, Worthing and London, this was a triumphant homecoming.
Debut single Royal Handkerchief Ballet is a mid-set high point. The swirling keyboards and guitars propel the room to a state of rapture.
Frontman Rowan Bastable is an indie star waiting to happen, throw- ing crucifix poses and boogying all over the shop, he's a key focal point Tom Wells on bass underpins the band's noise, while his partner in rhythm, Nathan Hill on drums is a totally entertaining loon. Andy Hurst on keyboards and Ryan Hill on guitar keep a tight grip on the strong tunes.
The room goes predictably bonkers for their final song, Centre Straight Atom, the catchiest song they've penned so far.
Catch them while you can because it's surely only a matter of time now before they're touring the UK and beyond - and these hometown shows will sadly become a rarity.
