JPNSGRLS, Nice N Sleazy, Glasgow

  • Published in Live

Opening with 'Oh My God' from their new record Divorce, Vancouver's JPNSGRLS have travelled a long way to play to 30 people in a Glasgow basement, but they put on a killer show regardless.

Over a 13 song set, drawing from their latest record and debut Circulation, the quartet impart some thoroughly enjoy rock vibes. Frontman Charlie Kerr shakes his hips in a hypnotic and infectious way, brimming with charisma and stirring the crowd into a dancing frenzy. Meanwhile guitarist Colton Lauro strikes the perfect tone as he tears through track after track, with the rhythm section of bassist Chris McClelland and drummer Graham Serl rounding off the band's energetic sound.

After shooting out the block with a one-two of 'Oh My God' and 'Trojan House', the pace of the night only slowed on the more restrained tracks such as 'Holding Back' and 'Southern Comforting', and the closing cluster of 'Smalls', 'Mushrooms' and 'Bully For You' ultimately ramped the energy back up for a suitably raucous finish.

With the energy flowing throughout, and the quality of the music being played, and the skill of the performance, it seems almost criminal that the crowd is this small, but at least the people in attendance and hopefully the band will keep these positive memories going forward and spread the word to their friends a great turnout next time.

Opting to miss the last train and pay for a taxi home instead to avoid missing the end of the show is really the highest compliment that can be paid here, and the rest of the words are meaningless by comparison, so we'll just end here.
