 Cock and bull kid are a4 piece pop rock band,
consisting of a female vocalist, a key board player
which I can only hear at times, a bass player
and a drummer. There's some catchy material that
there playing but in all honesty I'm just not
feeling it, she's got a good voice can hold a
note, does sound strained nor does she need to
push her voice as the songs don't really call
need for it. the drumming is good and simple,
the keyboard/synth wors well really fits, and
the bass playing is a right, , it's really up
best music but I'm just can't get into it, feels
like there's something missing even though there
shouldn't be as it's a nice full sound. Strange!!
Keel, He's the vocalist/rhythm guitarist from
Bloc Party, the music he has come up with on his
first solo effort The boxer, is bass heavy electro
dance music you could say, with his voice soaring
right over the top of the music, it's a mix of
drums, synth and keyboards, with some guitar in
there as well. This is really upbeat catchy music,
the  crowd while made up as the same people as
that watched the main support are totally different
and very alive and bouncing along for pretty much
all of the set, hands in the air and jumping,
the heat really rises in this place. The guy can
really sing too. I had no idea what to expect.
this is fantastic stuff, opening with The excellent
walk tall, which is swiftly followed by Latest
single On the Lam, Everything you wanted and second
single is third, Unholy thoughts, Tendroni and
Rise fill out the rest of the main set, there
was also a medley of tunes in there as well, and
also happy birthday to someone in the crowd and
to one of the girls on the crew. the encore consisted
of Yesterdays gone, This modern love, All the
things I could never say and set closer Flux,
which I'm unfamiliar with, but it’s still
a top song and a great way to close the set, a
great performance from a top band. Top cheese
indeed!!!!
Cock And Bull Kid - 3/5
