Reviews from 2009

Below are the highlights from last years reviews.... The Heebie Jeebies, so beautifully misunderstood! They dont even deserve the italic times new roman font... enjoy.

The Heebie Jeebies, a three piece from Sheffield look excited. Sweaty, yet excited. They come on stage, hug and then go to their respective offices on stage. Again, I wonder about this ‘hugging’. Am I missing the point? Should, I be hugging Mr Patel at the corner shop? – A preparatory exercise for my purchasing overpriced cheese from him for my pasta?
All I can only describe THJ’s like this: the Holloways with a drummer that makes playing the drums look more laboured than it should. –It’s like the room is pitch black, he can’t see the drums and he’s exerting the extra movement just in case he misses the drum. I’d like to see them again perhaps when I’m not focusing on the cookie monster

. Neither fit the headliner's demographic, and so it comes as no surprise that touring support act
Heebie Jeebies blend the overpopularised deceased soul of The Libertines and fellow Sheffield ladsArctic Monkeys. As one friend put it, 2002 called, they want their music back; it's unlikely this genre will experience a resurrection any time soon, but unnervingly I can imagine HB's music being marketed in such a way as to suggest the band are a highly energetic breath of fresh air. Although, the bassist did lend me his lighter, so my criticism is accompanied by the guilt smokers feel towards fellow smokers.

Really enjoyed the Heebie Jeebies but they were a league below Slow Club who are just wonderfully charismatic people with excellent stage banter.

The third band were Rotherham based The Heebie Jeebies who i thought were Slow Club’s backing band but then Slow Club didn’t come on stage when they started playing so i then thought otherwise. As soon as they started playing i could automatically tell they were better than that shite i had to witness before. And they also added to the hilarity of the first band with the drummer randomly shouting inbetween songs “Imagine your dad’s got a baked bean for a head” and Rebecca from Slow Club randomly screaming at them. It’s hard really to describe what they sound like but it was basically just simple indie rock, played short catchy songs with maybe a little bit of math rock thrown into the mix as well, obviously not ever gonna progress to bigger things but what they do is nice enough.

Penultimate band were Rotherham's
Heebie Jeebies. Frankly, I could live without ever hearing from them again. Their recorded material is riff-heavy stuff marred by sub-Libertines vocal stylings. Live, they were a godawful, shouty mess
