Isochronous were great at Ramfest<\/a> so I was excited to see them again while they were in Cape Town.\u00a0 The band announced on Facebook that they were looking for supporting acts and invited people to make suggestions, the outcome of which was that they’d be playing with like knives and Saintfearless.<\/p>\n

I’d never heard either so checked them out on Facebook; like knives didn’t have any tracks up [edit: they’ve got 2 tracks up, I apologise and have no explanation for the momentary blindness that caused me to miss that…<\/em>] but looked promising, Saintfearless had 4 tracks up of which I listened to the first 2 (Stars and aeroplanes<\/em> and Conventional Love Song<\/em>)…this turned out to be a mistake. The tracks were pretty bland and I was generally underwhelmed and considering arriving later and giving them a miss; I’m so glad I didn’t.<\/p>\n

\"Saintfearless\"<\/a> \"Saintfearless\"<\/a><\/p>\n

If I’d’ve listened to the other 2 tracks on their facebook (Alakazam <\/em>and Tango Tango<\/em>) I’d never have considered skipping Saintfearless. The 2 tracks I heard are pretty slow and sorta poppy, but the high energy, all rock performance they gave shattered my initial assessment of their sound. Not only is their music cool but they’re really entertaining to watch – so much so, that they even had me forget how much I hate audience participation when they divided the crowd and got each half to try to out-sing the other.<\/p>\n

Bonus points for having twins, bonus bonus points for the fact that their names are Kevin and Kelvin (?!). A fun band I’ll definitely see again.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
