Moose Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 Cara Mitchell was incredibly good. I cannot believe she has recently turned 17. By the time she’s about 21, has her vocal style down and maybe has a band, she seems destined to be a popstar. Kind of a cross between Amber Wilson and Kate Bush in her vocal delivery. Simple songs, and not something I’d normally listen to, but a very accomplished songwriter all the same. Very impressed. Orienteering and [] were both pretty beasting, and Das MacManus are just one of these good bands. You see them and you’re like “Hey. Good band.” But you say it in a tone of approval and while smugly nodding your head like Jeremy Clarkson. Good band. I had to leave during their set though as I wanted to go to bed. Sorree.

Chris Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 I had to leave during their set though as I wanted to go to bed. Sorree. Wish I'd left during our set and gone to bed. Fucking knackered today. Drive back to Banchory last night was not fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FOX Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 Thanks to everyone who put up with my interviewing and slightly-drunkness. Top lads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 Cara Mitchell was pretty damn good, it's pretty hard to keep an audience's attention with just an acoustic guitar, but she has some good songs and they're not just "sing and strum" numbers.Orienteering were very good, despite stealing Seas, Starry's schtick of tuning breaks. I especially liked the spacier songs towards the end of their set.[ ] are [ ], top drawer noise. Nice Aphex Twin cover and snippet of "Deck the Halls" in Jetpack Dinosaur. Lovely jumpers.
