Story by Tony:

This one was ace. Jason Lytle and his merry band from Modesto, CA. Beautiful, original, fragile songs played on beat up, taped up keyboards.

Jason is a mate of Elbow's Guy Garvey and appeared on his radio show from Manchester when they split in 2006.

Academy 3 remains my favourite place to see a band - just the right size, nice high stage, clear sight lines, good sound, can get served etc.
