Reviews / Live

"Perhaps on this occasion Barn Owl were too unpredictable, even for some of their fans..."

"Some purists have scoffed that the band have turned their back on the d’n’b community – tonight gave them a big serving of shut the fuck up."

There’s a beguiling kind of dreaminess to their music that rewards close attention and complete abandonment.

Every member of Karnivool is the master of their instrument, Ian Kenny’s perfect pitch defying the idea of human error, and even the backup vocals and secondary instrumentation from the guitarists can’t be faulted.

It doesn’t matter how many albums you have or how many Dubmarine shows you’ve been to, you’ll never know where they’ll take you visually and musically...

The packed crowd before her are savouring red wine rather than necking rivers of beer like in the days of yore.
