Digging deeperConsider yourselves extremely lucky on Friday 13 April, wombateers: Miss M and her cowboys – the mighty Drugstore – ride into Norwich Arts Centre to play the final date in a very limited run of three UK shows to promote the new single Aquamarine. It's a rare not-to-be-missed treat because there's really no other band like Drugstore. It's all over the internet: Drugstore have been kind of a big deal in their time.
Embracing everything from 1920s Berlin cabaret through the French chanson tradition, via The Velvet Underground's woozy melodic charm and Tom Waits' bar-room badinage, across PJ Harvey's earnest intellect and The Bad Seeds' rumbling, angry sadness, Drugstore will steal your heart. Ask anyone that is enraptured by the London-based Brazilian eccentric singer-songwriter, Isabel Monteiro: once seen and heard, never forgotten. Prepare to be enchanted, possibly shocked, by the candid and minx-like Miss M, who always wears her heart on her sleeve. Oh, and as it's Friday the 13th, Miss M has made a special request: "LET'S DRESS UP for the occasion, we wanna see a few fake-skulls around and dead mariachis!" Talking one-offs, Fiel Garvie's spellbinding fairylight-lit dreampop – which an Italian reviewer described as "dirty purity, treacherous melancholy, it's like a benign virus that thankfully has no vaccine" – compelled Vernon and Amy to make a round-trip of 6604 miles from Singapore to Tokyo to catch the Norwich quintet live in 2006. Last seen performing anywhere on 26 May 2007, Fiel Garvie return on Friday 13 April 2012 for one-night only. Vernon and Amy may do the same. And Port Isla's promise – provided by their harmonytastic twinkling mix of semi-acoustic summer sounds and perfect alt-folk/baroque-pop sets the tone for a magical evening and, surely, stardom. |
