As last night’s Memory Tapes show at The Social was his second ever gig – the first being two night’s back in Manchester – I am honoured with being one of the first people to reveal a live shot of Mr Memory Tapes, although I think it fair to note that I share this honour with the esteemed Anikainlondon.
The Memory Tapes live experience is brilliantly transported from the wonderful Seek Magic album to become a whole new beast altogether – it’s more visceral and inventive rather than a simple attempt to reproduce the sound and songs of the album. More guitar heavy, with some ace live percussion and a perfect melding of the synthetic and the organic – just brilliant. He’s playing again tonight at The Luminaire and I’ll be there again and even more expectant. Good times ahead etc.
