The Eclipse @ The Bull & Gate


We all know the score by now - from melodic indie pop to full out rawk, The Eclipse are as prolific as their mailing list. Bassist Jez's funky purple trousers match his jaunty riffs, Greg's vocals are angelic - he spreads his arms and the audience see Jesus (it's the hair). Daniel bashes away on his drums with a massive grin on his face.

Born In A Search For Truth is reminiscent of Oasis, but the rest of the set more than makes up for that. Perennial favourites Fame and the Closed Up Heart, and Destroyed Couple waft through the ears like marzipan on toast (a good thing by the way, I like marzipan... and toast).

White knickers are thrown onto the stage during Through Him To Me, making guitarist Joel turn red. He recovers to finish with a raucous solo on Different Person. A curtailed set, but the band definitely impress. The audience go home happy.
