Sounds Like: INDIE WITH ATTITUDE!
"An indie band with a set of catchy, enjoyable songs, sung with clarity and commitment."
"Good memorable songs"
"clearly a band that likes to have fun and enjoyment."
The Lowreys set off at a brisk pace with their two vocalists and sax player and Dan on the drums doing somer forthright work with the sticks. The vocals had some corking melodic content, well enhanced by Daniella on the Sax, interlaced with some catchy riffs from Nick's bass. A set with springy rhythms, the songs were well crafted and the music tightly executed. A band with a great sense of beat, they oozzed talent and presented well on the stage. "Caroline" was well received by their enthusiastic fans, an offering with some natty lyrics and a jaunty melodic line. A good helping of vocals came from Dan Wright on the drums - singing drummers are always impressive.
A band with an A+ for musicality, they are serious contenders for the top.
