Meursault - William Henry Miller Pt.1 (The Waiting Room Session)

I put on a gig in Edinburgh last night, and I feel the need to tell you about all 3 bands who played because they’re all bloody marvellous.

First on was X Lion Tamer. Not only is Tony a good (but cockney) guy, his 80s pop inspired electronics and early New Order-like guitar noodling are amazing. It’s a shame he hasn’t really had many chances to play to big crowds yet, but there was a decent amount of people last night.

Honeytrap are from Coventry, live in London, have a drummer in Coventry and a drummer in London, and their bass player is from Edinburgh. Confused? Me too. They’re dead good though. ‘Bar Mitzvah Indie’ is the phrase I’m sticking with. We’ve got an Off The Beaten Tracks session with them this afternoon, which I’m really looking forward to.

Meursault are fucking brilliant. Last night they somehow seemed more brilliant. I may have imagined it, but Neil seemed to be taking out all his anger towards the talkers at the bar on his vocals. The new Nothing Broke EP is brilliant, so go and buy it.
