St Vincent Street. 221 5279. 8.30pm. £5. An eclectic but not confusing association to round off 1m Bru Rox. The Anglo-American Belltower know how to deliver those soaring guitar sculptures on record. but live they don‘t seem to spark. Thrum usually have no problem drawing you in with their raucous pop tunes and grungey guitars. just as long as Mr Sound Engineer is behaving himself. Fjaere Nilssen relies on neither effects nor volume to cut through with her stripped-back sound.

Support from an American band receiving a lot of attention at the moment. surprise. surprise. But wait! Could it be because they have achieved the ever-rarer feat of managing to sound like nobody else on the planet (least of all Nirvana, thank goodness) and feature remarkable falsetto vocals?
