This is the third time that I've seen them and it was definitely the best so far. The Crawdaddy is intimate, but the sound is great. They kicked off with Spathic! from Charlie, which is one of my personal faves. They then played mainly material from Bambi's Dilemma.
They were tight as fuck and played two encores, during which they covered a Specials song (can't remember the name now). They had the perfect mix of experimentalism, pop, weirdness, noise and general catchiness. The lead singer is pretty with plenty of charisma. She climbed onto the speakers at one stage looking down at the band making some beautiful noise :applaud:
looking forward to brighton on thursday (26th)

I know that they said it's a Specials song, but originally 'Monkey Man' was done by Toots & the Maytals (Maytells?). Hey, I only found that out on Saturday, so there you go.
Saw M~B in Leeds last week, they fair ripped the place apart. Loud, aggressive, fun. What more could you want?
Were Rolo Tomassi supporting in Dublin? Sheffield's own jazzed-up M~B stylee kids. They're mighty fine too.

You're right actually. It is a Toots song. I missed the support act but I think that they were local.
