Launching their new single, Pascal Cavalier, the anticipation for Northeast Party House is evident on arrival at the Corner, just as the opening set from Diamond finishes. City Calm Down have the unenviable job of prepping the stage for the headliners. To their credit, they use this opportunity to show why they have been creating their own buzz over the last year. Firmly in the post-punk mould, they give an electronic take on the sound that The Horrors have characterised on their last couple of albums, but with more pay-offs. Some selfless drumming pushes the other instruments through the slow build, allowing vocalist Jack Bourke to hit the big notes in the right places. The final two songs of the set hit lift-off as the audience begin to lose inhibitions.

The room has filled out nicely with those lurking in the back corners dancing their way to the front as I Oh You DJ Johann Ponniah continues to press play on some crowd-pleasers. The stage curtain stirs and, as it is drawn, Northeast Party House make their entrance amid a '90s-pop backdrop, simultaneously launching beach balls into the crowd. The first song starts with smiles all 'round and it is not long before the crowd-surfing begins. While Northeast Party House present a debauched persona, their funky electro guitar sound is well rehearsed and the band is tight all night. The smooth croon of vocalist Zach Hamilton-Reeves is a winner, underselling the verses before his bandmates join in for the abundance of big choruses.

After the initial burst of liveliness, the momentum continues to build throughout the set. Even when Hamilton-Reeves hesitantly announces new songs, the kids take to them with gusto. Empire and Dusk from last year's self-titled EP are standouts from the early part of the set but there are no noticeable lulls. The band members move freely around the stage and the crowd does its best to get loose in the limited space, forcing many to take a ride on raised arms. As the band extends the ending of one of their songs, a fresh-faced punter appears on stage. He apologises to his mum for throwing the two-week party that inspired the band's name and ethos, before being whisked off stage by security. The band promptly breaks into Dare by Gorillaz, their “first cover ever”. From here the festivities begin to peak. New single Pascal Cavalier is next, perhaps upping the energy ante on preceding songs. Members of the crowd begin to appear everywhere on stage, as does security. The final song Embezzler is suitably crazy as band members weave around bodies, seemingly unfazed by the extra stage props. The night ends with an all-in hug from the band, with Northeast Party House genuinely satisfied and thankful for the fun they have inspired.
