Poliça

Considering their superb début album ‘Give You The Ghost’ features heavy vocal manipulation, you would think how they would translate this live would be the major worry for Poliça. As it turns out, this was not the case but other issues were more obvious. A weak opening number and an encore comprised of new songs just didn’t work, and whilst having two drummers gave the music a thrilling sense of power and musicianship, hiding them at the back spoiled this rare treat. Despite these criticisms, the strength of the material and the unique vocals of Channy Leaneagh prevailed. A show that certainly didn’t disappoint – but perhaps didn’t live up to the high standards set on record.
