Glasgowbury 2010 - Fight Like Apes
Small But Massive, 8:30Tweet: They came, they conquered.
What happened: Safe in the knowledge Northern Ireland is utterly slaying the south when it comes to both quantity and quality of bands these days, we're confidant enough to invite a group of Dubliners to play the main stage. Pretty cheeky of them to try and steal the show, mind.
On Top of the Mountain: Playing so many new songs seemed risky, but when they're this good, there's never going to be a problem. 'Hoo Ha Henry' is a particular standout, with the type of poppy chorus you could set your watch to. There's a song about a duvet which is sweet, epic and silly all at the same time. Look out for it. 'Beverley Hills....' remains their finest moment, while 'Jake Summers' is reliable as ever. Seems daft to point it
out at this stage, but singer May-Kay is an absolute superstar.
Ludicrously engaging - you just fall in love. A worrying poor turnout
quadruples about five minutes into their set and they're our new favourite
band by 9pm.
Slip, Sliding Down the Mountain: We could have done without seeing that guy strip, but to be fair, he only did it cause May-Kay asked him to, in a song.
