I saw these guys play an hour long set at Cargo in Shoreditch last night. Having listened to this band for the past few months, and seen the media coverage they've been getting of late, I was surprised they were playing such a small show. But I wasn't complaining. The intimate nature of the venue meant that I could stand near enough to the stage to see close-up how good White Denim are as musicians.----------
From the moment they came on, the energy was sky-high and never dropped. The guitars were loud and the sweat was flying. Plus, they looked like they were having the time of their life playing their music, the drummer was swigging spirits straight from the bottle, and every song broke down into a kind of wild jam session. But through it all, there was a sense that they knew exactly which direction the chaos would go, or if they didn't, they caught up with each other pretty quickly. At the end, they said thanks for coming, waved and walked off stage leaving the crowd calling for an encore that didn't come. To be fair, they had worked hard enough by then!
