    Great great band had the pleasure of seeing them in the Marquee on Fridy night and they put on a great show. A real pity that they aren't better know. Two fine albums that I've heard and some great songs

    Absolutely brilliant band. Despite the high quality of their material from day one, I'd actually say they're one of the few acts where each album somehow manages to be better than the one before. I wasn't at the Marquee, but I've seen them a good few times over the years, and they're always great.

    The 'Examiner' said they were mundane and boring bar one or two songs at the gig , I thought they were amazing. I put on Lyold I'm ready to be heartbroken on the jukebox the other day and people where saying that they were great

    Missed them but I was more interested in seeing Midlake. CO are good - in that ironically twee, 60s way along the lines of St Etienne and Belle & Sebastian. I like that, but I don't know if I'd be bothered with it live.
    My friend who adores them said the gig was only all right - probably better suited to an indoor, more intimate venue.

    They said that they won't be touring for a while and should I take it start work on a new album.
