Moving on, my first action will be to tell you that in the peculiar, pleasant, peculiarly pleasant surroundings of Broadbridge Heath Leisure Centre, a wonderful collection of men, women, children, and a Fireman Sam-skirted lady saw Dizzy Tales deliver an impressive set of catchy, hook-laden numbers that suggest these young whippersnappers could go far.
Despite the perils of bastard vending machines and lights hotter than a unicorn riding on the surface of the sun, the band tore through their tracks with confidence, with each member bringing a distinctive style to the mix.
Andy Boud's lead vocals swooped and swooned impressively, and he strutted around the stage with confidence, while he was admirably backed up in this regard by the rest of the band, notably the bassist Tom Dulson.
He goes a little further than most bassists, with a few of the main melodies coming through dextrous fingerwork, allowing Joe Woodhead's lead guitar work to shine through. His style is a little reminiscent of Chilis guitarist John Frusciante, with long hair flowing and high backing vocals adding to the mix, while being able to crack out a great solo at the same time.
Adam Ellis' drum work was tight and allowed the rest of the band space to breathe, giving the audience the chance to take in the melodies while carrying the rhythm and essence of the tracks well.
After recently being featured on BBC Introducing: The South (first track on the show), Dizzy Tales have the talent and the energy to put on a great live set. With an EP available as well, they should be playing to bigger crowds as a matter of course, so catch them before they truffle shuffle their way out of Crawley. Go on, I dares ya...
Check out a delightful video put together by TFM of the boys in action at this very gig.
