Zutons are in the house, "come on Fuji make some noise" commands singer/guitarist David McCabe.In 2004, they were out to impress, dressed in identical lab coats and angling in on their madness, their Zuton fever. This year the know they have it and hit straightforward; no need for gimmicks the music is angular, antic and hot.
After "Oh Stacey (Look What You've Done!)" off their new album, " Tired of Hanging Around," it's back to the hoop hooping of "Pressure Point." McCabe continues to engage the audience in a thick accent"I want to see all you fucking Japanese do the pogo stick," and they gladly comply to "Why Won't You Give Me Your Love?"
Then it's war drums and a Mideastern-tinged mouth organ/saxaphone duet, before sax player XXX gets up to the front of the stage in her skintight catsuit to get the crowd clapping. The artists are in charge of the cacophony tonight and they lead with abandon and confidence. A big noise from the Zutons, a big response from the crowd.
