Left With Pictures – The Slaughtered Lamb, London 25/09/08 [Photos]

-

On record, Left With Pictures sound like a quintessential English band. Their songs stay just the right side of twee with flourishes of whimsical chamber pop – a breath of fresh air in the currently over crowded sub genre of Alt Folk/Anti Folk/Nu Folk (whatever you want to call it). We recently gave their Secretly EP a whopping 91% on the TLOBF-richter-scale – all you need do is listen to the track we gave away on last months mixtape to understand why. It’s lush. We love it so much in fact that we’ve asked the band to be a part of our first TLOBF Club Night which is being held at Old Blue Last in London on 20th October. The trio will be joined by their pals (and equally talented) Fireworks Night and the magnificent Leisure Society. DJ duties will be with Sweden’s Air France, who are flying in especially for the show. Oh, and it’s free entry too. More info here.

But back to the task in hand, a last minute email to TLOBF Towers tipped us off to a special and rather intimate performance by Left With Pictures at East End boozer The Slaughtered Lamb. We sent our faithful snapper Lucy Johnston down there to capture the action. Apparently it was a wonderful evening, looks like it too if the pictures are anything to go by.. And we’re just loving the bunting. Like I said, quintessentially English.
