Live: The Orielles @ Tooting Tram and Social

The scale of the impressive chandelier-lit converted tram shed makes for a great setting for live music. As the teens arrived on stage, Henry confidently declared the party started in a thick West Yorkshire accent and proceeded to kick off with the infectiously catchy track Bitchcraft.

Attempting to draw the largely seated crowd to their feet, youthful Carlyle-Wade exerted a guitar performance oozing with energy and flailing hair for the next track Just Like Glue. Paying respect to those in the audience now standing, the threesome continued on with final track Sliders from their forthcoming EP, a track with a distinctly heavier garage sound and featuring a strong drum influence from Sidonie.

The set came to an end with a well performed extended instrumental mellay of drums, guitar and bass. Oh, and a little bit of rock ‘n’ roll attitude as Carlyle-Wade threw his guitar to the floor with force and an over excited audience member dived face first onto the stage and into the drum kit (before quickly being removed by Security!).

New EP Jobin looks set to be a big hit if the number of pre-release listens are anything to go by. This coupled with more eclectic live performances to come this summer will ensure that The Orielles ought to be one to watch in 2016.
