James Yuille : The Bush Hall 26/03/08
I head over to The Bush Hall to catch James Yuille who is opening for Conrad Merz. He cuts an interesting figure, strikingly tall in spectacles and an oversized suit, telling us he "dressed for the occasion" refering to the imposing interior of the hall. His partner on the stage, Jess Bryant is much more understated, pulling electronic noises out of her Macbook and the variety of toys on the ironing board in front of her. Their voices work well together and the melodies James delivers over his acoustic guitar are charming and effective. Mix this in with the beats and crunches coming out of the little boxes that are remaniscent of Justice or Daft Punk and there is a sound that is beguilingly original and certainly wouldn't be out of place on a substantial advertising campaign down at the local cineplex

Peace and Respect
