Jimmy Nylon / Last Letter Read Live @ Bossa Nova (Worcester) 25/7/07 NJS	Permalink

Jimmy Nylon / Last Letter Read Live @ Bossa Nova (New Street, Worcester) Two bands, a cool retro style venue, great atmosphere and a night of local(ish) live music, all for the price of a hundred 1 penny sweets. Cant be bad, but there has to be a catch. Well, no. H Promotions have been putting on live music as this bar for a couple of months and it seems they have the formula just right. Cheap entry and local bands result in a relaxed attitude, good music (usually) and a place to meet your mates and make new friends (and in the case of a member of Jimmy Nylon, get your hair tied in pigtails.) First band tonight, all the way from Sussex, Last Letter Read started proceedings with a Blink 182 / inspired set. Lots of jumping around while performing but the songs seems to lack any originality. The lead singer was okay, but seemed to lack a lot of stage presence. He was barely audible over the rest of the band and barely visible due to his apparent malnutritioned physic. That said, they were quite a good band to watch and if you are into bands like Sum41, McFly, Fall Out Boy, Blink 182, early Greenday and a whole string of other pop punk bands then they are definatly worth checking out, just to see how they progress. Jimmy Nylon are one of Worcester's newest and perhaps most exiting bands. This alternative indie four piece have the talent, they have the attitude and they have the realisation that performing can be fun. With vocalist you can actually understand (when he isnt almost swallowing the microphone), and a guitarist intent on making his guitar sing, squeal and bleed, they rip up the, now busy, Bossa Nova bar. A real crowd favourite, performed a couple of their own songs including the awesome Advert and also interesting versions of Oasis's Whatever and an amazingly version of Cascada's Everytime We Touch. Brimming over with confidence, pumping out some fine catchy tunes and with more than their fair share of onstage banter and bickering, this is a band definatly worth seeing again. Great name for a band, great band for a top night out. www.myspace.com/jimmynylontheband Review By Sarah B / Emma R __________________
