You need to see your new favourite band the Wave Pictures. Although they’re British, you’ll hear a cross between US artists Jonathan Richman, Bob Dylan and Townes Van Zandt, with a little British indie thrown in too (think Suede and The Smiths), and some afrobeat guitars.
They live for playing live. For over 10 years they’ve spent most of their time on the road. It’s where they write their songs, and perfect their live show. No two Wave Pictures gigs are the same. They don’t tour the same old setlist to promote new “product”. The setlist changes every night, chosen on the night by the band. Even if they have new music out, they’re likely to play some newer unreleased material, plus plenty of old crowd favourites.
They’re expert musicians, particularly guitarist/singer David Tattersall. Expect fun solos from all three in the band. But don’t think David will do as others do and change guitars and strings during the night, or use guitar pedals. He’ll play his one guitar, as is, all night, no frills. Even a lack of microphones doesn’t stop them - in fact some songs they’ll play deliberately without mikes, making for unique intimate moments.
