Live review from 08/05/09 with Betty & The Id: Second band, Miss Halliwell, are a bit different. They come on with a darker and more experimental vibe, a la Sonic Youth and The Fall but with definite lashings of originality. I had seen some of the members in another band, The Mallory Heart, so it was interesting to see how they sounded with a different lineup. The opening track caught me from the start with a great vocal line; ‘People say that the West Midlands shouldn’t be allowed on television…its where I live’. Delivered with feeling, wit and menace from frontman Miles. The man adds a good theatrical element throughout, for much of the time singing into two microphones, one of which is heavily echoed and delayed. Other times he smashes the cymbals manically or assembles weird loops of cackles and shouts that he then plays back and overlays. The mix of male and some female vocals works very well. The songwriting is a class above 90 percent of the rest of what is out there and this shines through with glaring obviousness. There are not many bands in Birmingham, or nationally, that are doing something so original and I do hope that Miss Halliwell get somewhere with it. They have a couple of EPs available to buy at www.elementaryrecordings.co.uk and are contributing a live performance soundtrack to independent feature film ‘Die Son! Die’. You can see an extended Miss Halliwell set along with visuals from the film at Go Club at The Old Wharf in Digbeth on Saturday 5th September. |
