APE: OUR GIRL



Whilst Anna Calvi played opposite, so close in fact that drummer Lauren Wilson was watching her on the big screen opposing her, Our Girl did some shredding themselves. Having spent a year on the road since the release of their incredible debut album, the band have grown in confidence. So much so that their set on the X-Stage appeared like a piece of piss. It’s so effortless with these lot, so easy and simple, they barely need to look at one another to start the next song, it’s almost telepathic. They get the balance between entertainment and professionalism right, playing their tracks to the highest degree, but using the breaks in between to play around, Lauren joking that singer Sophie had gone for a costume change as she ran away for her forgotten capo. It was all fun and games and rock’n’roll, it was brilliant.
