Lykke Li was a revelation, heavier than I expected with a full band. El Perro Del Mar supporting is worth a mention, the set started really well, low-fi, ambient, chick folk, but when she moved off her acoustic onto the piano/synth it all fell apart. The audience was lost and chatter took over. Shame really! 

Lykke Li had boundless confidence and worked the tiny stage like it was 10 times it's size, the the dressing room appeared to be the Kitchen and the route to the stage was via the crowd. It all added to a rather surreal experience where it appeared that the crowd universally sensed that they were seeing something that won't be hanging around these venues for long. The albums out on Monday, I think i'll be purchasing.

She reminded me of early Madonna in her sense of ease on stage, working the front row, quirky pop and coded sexual references. Little Bit is unique but there was a depth to her set that suggests she's got more to offer, I think she's probably aware of the potential of "Little Bit" and thus dropped it mid set which worked, it's almost inevitable that it'll grate people in the end but for now at least it's 3 minute pop gem.

Gonna try and get some Black Kids tickets tomorrow, undecided on my thoughts around them but the rumor is it's sold out so I'm not holding out much hope.
