Dressed in the gaudiest clothes they could find in the vintage shop Hooded Fang took the stage over from The Sheepdogs who had done a fine job warming up the max capacity Horseshoe for Chart's CMW showcase. Filled out to a full seven members, including a doublet brass section that totally made Laughing happen, Hooded Fang played a jangly set that entertained, even if it didn't 'wow'. Leading lady did her part in not only singing but playing what looked like a toy accordion and some mean xylophone. Their latest album, Album, is quite catchy even if it seems to roll by without grabbing attention all too often. The same could be said for this set. With all that man-power it'd be great for them to really put on a show, and not just a fashion show.
By no means is this a negative review, just a blase one for a band that I was really excited to see again. I'll be rooting for them when the tour rolls around again in support of their NEW album they announced at the show should be out in the spring!
