It Seems Very Much Like Their Sound Has Changed A Lot Over The Last Six Months Shifting From A More Experimental Electronic Angle To One More Guitar-Driven. Given This Frontman Lee Jones Has More Room To Shine In His Chosen Role. A Natural Performer Jones Was Born For The Stage. No Spending The Entire Gig Looking At His Fretboard No Struggling To Play Sing And Dance In Unison No Signs Of Discomfort Or Being Out Of Place He Is Exactly What A Performer Should Be... Totally In Charge Of What He's Doing. ....Between Jones And Rhys 'Cowboy' Watson The Band Has An Amazing Live Dynamic. Musically There Is Nothing But Fun On The Table... ... Their Overall Sound Is Extremely Textured And Interesting. Good Band This One... And Definitely Capable Of Pushing Themselves Further And Further.
