Gig Review

Oedipus and The Mamas Boys set the record for the largest band I have seen on the Tuts stage coming in at eight members. Their sound and energy however are just as large the band. Similar to my recent review of San Jose it’s a hard sound to pin down to a genre, enough jazz to be psychedelic but not really, a hint of Americana thrown in maybe? Fat White Family meets Fat Dog.
Whatever it is, it’s incredibly fun. Their new single ‘Stretched/Kitchens’ was to be released at midnight and the band disagree on whether that counts as tonight or tomorrow. It starts with a rare tender and quiet period before building into an emotional and noiseful crescendo. It was one of those sets that ended with a buzz of people who were excited to have just found their new favourite band.
