Dananananaykroyd are one of those bands that once you see live, you will want to see them again the next day if you can, because you feel lost without it. These Glaswegian fight-indie-poppers know how to put on a live show, and this date was part of their dates around the country, and they had proved extremely popular, with the Scala nearly selling out. Having seen them at Offset earlier this year, it would be interesting to see what they could bring to the audience this time. Sadly, we arrived late, missing Calories, but I'm sure they would have been on top form, so go and listen to them.

They often get rapped for their unpronounceable name, but with the help of Google, just slap some 'anananan' in and you'll find them. Glasgow's Dananananaykroyd take the whole genre pigeon holing to a new level. Helping to create such genres as Posi-core (Positive-Hardcore) or Fight-Pop, they blend screaming and distorted guitars with catchy pop melodies, creating intense but definitely happy music. This gig was a big deal for these guys, particularly in London, a place they do not come down to that often. They made sure the audience knew how grateful they were for the turnout and reception, and it was good to see some genuine appreciation going down.

Tonight's performance was tight and energetic, with all the band enjoying the intimacy of the venue and the huge turnout. In times of despair, these guys know how to make everyone feel better. They put on one of the best live shows I've seen, and with two singers jumping into the crowd, you're bound to get struck by a pasty and fairly sweaty Scottish man.
