tune Back in Liverpool) and on the other hand sounds more like the product of Midwest USA via the English countryside. The five-piece have nailed their image and target market, and are moulded to within an inch of themselves; you can imagine the memo about band uniform reading something like, “pastels, linen and light-coloured denim only. Waistcoats, braces and flat caps optional.” Then it’s BY THE SEA, who are probably the most ‘now’ sounding band of the line-up, and certainly the moodiest. While we fumble around for words like ‘shoegaze’ and ‘dreamy’, they’ve helpfully described themselves as ‘escape pop’ - file them with Beach House. While some of their subtlety is lost in the vast venue tonight, as their growing popularity attests, they definitely have something, and warrant checking out somewhere intimate. It would probably help if you were wearing something American Apparel when you go. And since the theme of the night has been bucketloads of talent, not a lot of innovation, THE TEA STREET BAND are the perfect headliners for a room full of punters who are by now ready to dance. Their explicit aim is to bring the sound and spirit of acid house to those who weren’t there the first time round and, going by the fairly ecstatic response tonight, they’re filling a gap in the market and then some. A great idea, and yet more a great night out (and we haven’t even mentioned the after party), here’s hoping for a NXNW <strong>2013</strong>. Jennifer Perkin COSMO JARVIS Mad Dog Mcrea – The Robin Pierce Band MelloMello Things have definitely gone beyond control for COSMO JARVIS after his biggest single, Gay Pirates, went viral this time last year. Still just 23, the British singer has managed to keep himself busy by pursuing a plethora of artistic endeavours since he gave up on school when he was only 16. It could have been so easy for him to have settled for just producing and directing videos or composing addictive songs but instead he chose to do them all. It is that hugely dynamic fusion that makes him the complete artist, so hard to find these days. Coming to Liverpool to promote his newest album, Think Bigger, Jarvis manages to gather quite a number of impatient, loyal fans at MelloMello; a venue which despite battling closure once again proves to be able to generate the usual incredibly intimate and warm atmosphere. The support is granted by two folk bands that tend to transcend the traditional aesthetics of the genre. Both MAD DOG MCREA, a group that combine an unusual rock sound with elements of gypsy jazz and Celtic folk, and the acoustic trio that go by the name of THE ROBIN PIERCE BAND, make wellcrafted music, hence the splendid connection they have with the audience. For his third outing in Liverpool, Cosmo starts off with a relatively controversial song, Sure As Cosmo Jarvis (Daniel O’Toole)
