Of course, a set of Hiatus Kaiyote standards isn’t without musical risk, and Marven’s organ-like synth rig (un)helpfully obliged, “sabotaging” the band just before an airing of the classic ‘By Fire’. Newer cuts ‘And We Go Gentle’, ‘Chivalry Is Not Dead’ and fan favourite ‘Red Room’ was particularly impressive, with the sonic freakouts of Mood Valiant wonderfully recreated, lapped up by a crowd of who appeared to be mostly musical prodigies (when Nai asked who in the room were musicians themselves, the crowd accordingly raised their jazz hands as one). ![]() However, things are as far from the shiny and sterile LA sheen as they can be here with the quartet, made up of Messrs Perrin Moss, Paul Bender, Simon Mavin and, of course, frontwoman Nai Palm – bolstered by the excellent support of trusty vocal trio Jace, Loreli and Jay Jay – providing an hour and a half of edge-of-the-seat musical wizardry, spinning a web of experimental hip hop, fusion, neo-soul and breakbeat jams (among others) with masterful ease, backing tracks be damned.
