The Tail at The Airliner

Support band The Rhone Occupation were very good - Elliott Smith meets Thom Yorke...

The Tail played an confident and well received debut show. The songs are catchy power-pop dominated by Ted Scarlett's excellent guitar work. However, the guitar effects are a little overwhelming for me and sound like a cross between 'Dreamtime' era Billy Duffy (which is fine) and Andy Summers treacly chorus fx which have not dated well... The girls in the band are accomplished musicians and Maiana Lila Noce is a good singer but needs to connect with the audience more...
