Oxegen 2010 - Joe Echo
2FM Hot Press Academy, Friday 9th July, 5.20pm
Describe in a Tweet: Everybody get your hands in the air! NOW SING!!!
What Happened: As the rain starts to fall, many people are foced to seek shelter in the in 2FM Hot Press Academy. And it's a good thing they do, as Joe Echo is ready to lift the roof of the place with a set of anthemic indie-rock and a voice that could part the clouds.ÌýEvery time the man opens hisÌýmouth, it seems like the worldÌýflips upside down. From a cavernous roar to an intimate whisper, Ciaran Gribbin displays an impressiveÌýselection of vocal gymnastics, without ever lapsing into indulgence.
The tunes are lean and radio friendly andÌýthe audience responds in kind, taking part in lots of clapping and sing-a-longs.ÌýBut with a voice like Je Echo, how can the crowd ever hope to compete?
Crazy in Love:Ìý'Tilly's Cowboy' and new single 'Wonderful Way' sound like stone coldÌýclassics.
99 Problems: There isÌýan outbreak of some serious hardcore revelling during the set, but it comes with the territory, I suppose.
