The Huskies; a skillfully mixed, rapidly-intoxicating cocktail of funk, soul and pop, featuring cross-rhythms, thumping synth and slap bass, funk guitar, and an outstanding performance by their lead singer, who apparently gets compared to Gwen Stefani. This was, quite simply, a treat. The band spouted confidence as they strutted their way through the sexy groove of ‘Got No Time’, and stomped through the low down, funky riff and duel vocals of ‘Stalker’, ending with the astonishing ‘Goldigger’; an impeccably constructed combination of tempo shifts, raps, chants and emotional vocals. This band doesn’t just get the dance-floor moving; they hold the interest of everyone in the room. They ran over time, but even the organisers didn’t seem to care. A brilliant performance; good luck to them.
