Iglu & Hartly headline York’s Fibbers with support from New Politics and Dead Rebellion.
Words by Aimee Taylor
Californian popsters Iglu & Hartly made an impressive stop-off at York on their 2010 UK tour, introducing brand spanking new songs on a night when their synth-driven sound was greatly welcomed by the Fibbers crowd.
The venue was filled with an electric atmosphere, the fans anticipating their well-known anthem, and of course the band saved the best for last. Their energy was bright and bouncy throughout a staggering 13-song set, the highlight being In This City, when the noise was amazing and there was a real buzz.
In support were Dead Rebellion, a hip hop/electronica band with a decent and very cool sound. Their set was energetic but controlled and they delivered a great performance and some quality music. Plugging their upcoming headline gig in February, the crowd cheered in excitement.
Further support came from New Politics, an indie-rock band from the USA that spewed talent, passion and fun. New Politics gave something different to the York audience: beat boxing, break dancing and American charm. The pint-sized lead singer thrust himself around the stage and entertained the crowd while showcasing some genius music.
Iglu & Hartly and their support acts put on a real show at Fibbers and the gig was one of the best that has been staged in York for a very long time. Iglu & Hartly brought something unique and rare with them and we hope that they visit us again soon.
