ITC09: Wonderswan @ TV21

Wow. We didn't expect things to be running on time... Well done ITC!

Wonderswan are a fabulous way to start our ITC09, and remain one of our favourite new bands of the year. These four guys make what can be best described as a bloody wonderful racket - think Pavement but more scuzzy, Idlewild-esque riffs - but mainly very LOUD and very FAST.

Technical issues shortened an otherwise fantastic set, which was made even more fun by seeing how the band dealt with the sci-fi basement-cum-venue of TV21. The bassist didn't even attempt to get on stage, loping around off to the side instead. Wonderswan pulled it back from their pedal issues to leave a not too shabby crowd well pleased.
