Cue the Moon were excellent, taming the oft lousy Silverlake Lounge sound with a great set. They are derivitive of loads of bands; early Muse, Jeff Buckley, Radiohead, Grizzly Bear and even The Dears in some of the extended soloed outro's... Their saviour could be some neat keyboard effects but whether this is enough to differentiate them from just another group of talented copyists remains to be seen. Will definitely check them out again...
The poorly named Shotgun Showdown were a raw but fun all girl band who reminded me a little of a garage version of The Cranberries. I'm sure there are a load of girl bands playing three chord garage rock at the moment, just don't ask me to name any OK?
ExDetectives played a good set of which 'Won't stop' and 'Closing Bell' were the highlights, although a couple of the newer songs are catching up fast...
