Redjetson demonstrated the ideal application for the electric guitar at the Adelphi on Tuesday. I saw them there last year when they played with Youthmovie Soundtrack Strategies and were brilliant. They were astoundingly good considering the poor scope that the PA offers down De Grey Street and certainly provided considerable fuel for the debate on how many guitars any band can use to genuinely good effect.
They were dulcet to raging and the guitarist with the moustache (I remember the moustache from their previous appearance) has clearly perfected the ringing, chiming Telecaster tone saturated with reverb (...how close to perfection did Leo get in 1950, for the instrument to be used virtually unchanged and unsurpassed in 2005?). I would recommend them to many more people live than I would on record. Live they are simly glorious, though I guess that with the right hi fi and understanding neighbours, their first album is rather impressive too.
OK. Go and see Redjetson wherever they are next. And buy New General Catalogue. Or a Telecaster. Right, I'm just going to publish this now.
