Live Review: Two Door Cinema Club at Madame JoJo’s in London on 12 Jan
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 19 January 2010
Northern Ireland’s Two Door Cinema Club returned for their first gig after a one month Christmas break, but showed no signs of rustiness. Their sound is all about tight rhythms and they were totally together tonight, providing some very polished performances of tracks off debut album ‘Tourist History’. These guys could get rather big rather quickly, with a number of radio-friendly tracks ripe for heavy rotation sitting in their portfolio, plus a whole repertoire that quickly sounds familiar.
If there was a criticism to be made, it would be that while their performance is considered and technically very good, there is perhaps room for some more spontaneity. On more than one occasion it would have been nice for them to go nuts and rock out a bit. Having said that, it’s pretty churlish to criticise a young band for being well practiced in their craft and for putting together a solid set to promote their debut album. So I won’t.
Instead look out for said album, which is out on 1 Mar via Kitsune. These guys are definitely ones to watch in 2010. IM
