Mystery Jets plan a murder at The Great Escape

Mystery Jets played a hugely energetic show last night (May 17) at the Honeyclub in Brighton at 9:15pm (BST). The gig was part of The Great Escape festival.

Fans packed out the venue to see the band, who turned the gig into an indie party, with the biggest dance moves and cheers saved for their hit 'Two Doors Down'. However, lighting problems caused the band to sarcastically request that the lighting man for the venue be killed.

The band came onstage to the sound of the menacing sirens of 'Hideaway', frontman Blaine Harrison asking the crowd, "Have you been enjoying The Great Escape? Good!"

After playing 'Half In Love With Elizabeth' the band politely asked whether the lighting in the venue could be sorted out. "Can someone please turn the lights on?", Harrison pleaded. "It's rather dark in here and we can�t see all these lovely people."

After playing 'Diamonds In The Dark', which got the crowd jumping excitedly, the band were still not impressed with the lighting on stage. Harrison made a further complaint: "OK, can someone please kill the lighting guy? Or maybe it�s a robot, in which case it would be much appreciated if someone fondled the robot."

Despite their complaints the band were in a good spirits. After playing the aforementioned 'Diamonds In The Dark' Harrison joked, "Did you like that song more than the first one then? No? Get out!" Then a woozy rendition of 'Flakes' led to the first crowd singalong of the night,

Despite playing live just down the road at the Sallis Benney Theatre an hour later than the Mystery Jets show, Laura Marling, who appears on the song on record, did not join the band onstage for 'Young Love'. The crowd were left ecstatic by the song's performance nonetheless.

Towards the end of the set, Mystery Jets invited the crowd to join them on a night out after the show. "We�re going down to Concorde 2 after this if anyone fancies joining us?" said Harrison. "We'll put every single person in this room on the guestlist. That's a joke, actually."

The frontman then asked the crowd for requests. The crowd almost unanimously shouted for latest single 'Two Doors Down'. The band obliged, leading to loud cheers and yet another singalong.

Mystery Jets played:

'Hideaway'
'Half In Love With Elizabeth'
'Diamonds In The Dark'
'Flakes'
'Hand Me Down'
'Young Love'

John Coltrane, Coltrane

John Coltrane, Coltrane

This attractively packaged correct documents the first recordings of the famous 'classic quartet' of Coltrane, piano player McCoy Tyner, bassist Jimmy Garrison and drummer Elvin Jones; gathering together understudy takes and other performances (including unity previously unheard Tyner master copy), Coltrane is a fascinating portraiture of a ring as a life, evolving entity.

The low CD is devoted to the master copy release, here remastered in shiny 24 routine digital glory. It kicks off with 14 min modal auxiliary verb sprawling of Harold Arlen's 'Out of This World' (a Coltrane darling and a tune he would revisit for moderately practically the rest of his life). O'er a slinky, mantra like 6/8 vallecula, the saxophonist unwinds two long solos that alternate keening, soulful lines with sudden flurries of notes or cranked up overblowing.

Tyner's limpid chording is economical, percussive and sleekly propulsive; on the album's only lay, Mal Waldron's "Soul Eyes" he takes a short just delicate solo sandwiched 'tween the leader's passionate statements. Though in that location ar moments of intensiveness, the material here is ice chest than the firestorms the quartet would be start in a year or two on (or were already cooking up in operation).

"Measuring worm" is another 6/8 modal pleasure trip; perhaps Coltrane was passing for another "My Favorite Things" with this adaptation of Wienerwurst Loesser's tune (first sung by Danny Kaye in the film Hans Christian Andersen). More substantial is the slow up, dark swing of "Tunji", featuring a sonorous solo feature from Garrison.

These sessions were among the death in which Coltrane recorded several takes of a tune; CD 2 features four takes of "Tunji"; for each one i taken at a more and more slower tempo. Though you probably wouldn't need to listen to them one subsequently another, they're a fascinating glance of a ring that was rarely less than at the top of its game (none of these takes deserved the cutting room floor as their portion).

Apart from the heretofore doomed "Non til now" (a juicy piece of soul jazz with lucid, bluesy performances from Tyner and Coltrane), in that respect ar deuce too soon takes of "Impressions" (unity of Coltrane's cut n' paste compositions), Trane's George I Nicholas testimonial "Big Snick" and the pianoless vapors "Up 'Gainst the Wall". Though just about of these have institute their way onto compilations throughout the years, there's over 50 minutes of unheard Coltrane here, which makes it a must for the completist. Carl Woldeck's detailed lining notes ar brilliant and the whole software package reeks of the upkeep and tending that you canful await from Impulsion! at their best; recommended.

The band was formed in 1983 by natural-born flasher and pro-wrestling fancier "Foul" Ronnie Galetti, human beings Health Establishment guided Nasty Brute through a twin forth of demos (1984's Remuneration of Havoc and Stark naked Mayhem -- both hot commodities on the worldwide tape-trading circles, in their daytime) and deuce-ace and a half melodic thrash albums (1985's Nasty Wildcat, 1987's Tomfoolery, 1988's Abstract Reality EP, and 1989's Penetration Point) sooner their dying at the fill up of the ten-spot. Through it entirely, the nucleus batting order of Galetti on vocals, Ben Meyer and David Capital of Texas on guitars, and William Curtis Beeson on drums remained amazingly horse barn, only the bassist stance seemed to have approximately genial of hex on it. First-class honours degree record album bass musician Fred Dreschigan was forced to stoppage later sustaining a manus hurt; his successor for album number two, Dezso Istvan Bartha, had to pick out between the band and a heavy heritage, and clearly picked the latter; and EP bassist Chris Moorhouse would later go bad in 1991 elevator gondola stroke! Richard Bateman, populace Health Organisation performed on Nasty Savage's final record record album in 1989, presumably had the bad chance of, well, acting on Nasty Savage's final record album.
