The Introducing night at the Electric Proms was brilliant on Sunday. Thanks to all who came, and the bands who put on excellent performances. Openers Pull in Emergency played a stormer; beautiful indie tunes with fast and frantic melodies that prove they're going places. Chew Lips were amazing. Lead singer Tigs is a star-in-waiting, her vocals sounding exquisite and the electro-rhythms making it impossible not to to bounce along to.
South Derry's General Fiasco (currently on tour with One Night Only) have this accomplished indie rock sound, as best heard in the debut single Rebel Get By. But back on the Introducing stage as headliners were Pete and the Pirates. What a band. And they keep getting better! New tunes stood up next to the ones we know and they're better live now than they've ever been. My highlight was seeing Steve Lamacq sing a long to practically every song. He has been to see them live more times than any other this year!

A brilliant night of music then, with highlights on the show tonight from 9pm and from midnight in England too.
