Not only are we a great source of new music on the interweb but we also thought it was time to bring some of the discoveries we made to the Kids.  So the first Wax Music night in North London took place in Kentish Town.  I’m a big fan of the Bull & Gate and had some top nights there so it seemed a natural choice for venue.  With Apart From The Soul pulling out at the last minute it was left to Danny Stevens to open up proceedings.  

Can’t say enough good things about Danny, well crafted songs is such a horrible way to put it but they are.  Vocally he sounds great, a distinctive voice like a kind of British Ryan Adams.  Danny though doesn’t seem to have much luck with the ladies and why this may be bad for him its great for us - kind of holidaying in other people’s misery. Better Without You is dedicated to an ex-girlfriend.  Fade Out (Like A Dance) is also a really strong song and the mouth organ solo sends a chill down my spine.  Solo singer songwriters can be such a bad idea but Danny Stevens is much better than most and One In Ten is possibly the greatest love song I’ve heard this year.

Cinimo are fast becoming my new favourite band.  Any band consisting of not one but two Dom Cookson’s are obviously onto a winner.  Cinimo are a hard band to describe, they might look like an average skinny indie band but their songs have so much more depth than that.  A lot of their power lies in the uniqueness of frontman Dom Cookson’s voice - a bit Bowie’ish in places but still unlike anything you’ve heard before.  Don’t Know as well as being a haunting piece of music had the best whistle solo since Bobby Mcferin. Dancing doesn’t make you want to dance but to nod your head in approval, yes they do have some shoe gazing moments but importantly they are never dull ones.  They also cover The Pet Shop Boys Heart and like all the best cover versions they make it totally their own and it evens starts some of the crowd dancing. Finally the crowd are treated to an epic guitar solo that features on new tune ‘The Theft’ which is instantly crowned a future classic by the Wax music crew. Cinimo deserve to playing bigger stages than this and it should only be a matter of time till they do.

Final band of the night are My Evil Twin. The Twin rawk but not in a rubbish 1987 spandex Darkness loving way, no instead in an Alt Rock stylee.  Their songs manage to be both emotive yet powerful and they have the best guitar poses and moves since Busted. After losing their fourth member to further education several years ago, the Twin are now standing on their own six feet and sounding better than ever, with lead vocalist Steve Ithell perfecting screaming into a fine art form. The Twins assorted friends and fans are treated to old favourites such as Break For the Bends and Cannibal Song whilst several new tracks show that the band are sticking to their rawk roots and are certainly not tempted to unleash the inevitable "eastern influenced" material quite yet. Even the suited Cinimo fans are strangely impressed and the evening finishes with the wall of sound that is My New Best Friend which is a fittingly impressive ending to a great set. 

In the end it was a quality night of music from 3 acts, which whilst being completely different in sound, worked really well together. Everyone seemedto have a top night all for a bargain £4, what more can you ask for?
