Hollywood’s Vintage Trouble deserved better than a Yeti Stage appearance, opposite the fun. juggernaut. The immaculately-attired four-piece put on a fantastic show to an audience of almost no-one, shaking hands with one another before blasting into a polished collection of up-tempo barroom RnB. Utterly unperturbed frontman Ty Taylor puts on a good show – exhorting a response from the crowd at every turn. ‘I can’t even hear you!’ was less and less true, each time he teased the growing crowd.
Electric blues played at full pelt, by a band with very different ‘classic’ reference points to the rest of the festival’s lineup. Taylor is the kind of soul-showman who can win over any crowd. One of the highlights of my time at the festival.
Voted best new artist 2011 in UK. Yeah. No one gets a crowd more excited.
Have a great tour 2012. Wish i were there.
