A hallmark of a good band is whether they can replicate the sounds created on a record live on stage, while keeping an audience entertained. It is safe to say that Django Django pass these tests with flying colours.

The very British quartet (two Scots, one Englishman, one Northern Irishman) took to the stage on the York leg of their UK tour and gave the packed out Fibbers a night to remember on Monday.

Tribal drums overlapped with piercing synths and jangling guitars, while they used just about every percussion instrument under the sun, which added to their distinctive quirkiness.

Hail Bop got the audience moving with effortless ease, while one of the many highlights was Waveforms, which the band elongated to add a heavily percussion-based interlude.

Effervescent frontman Vincent Neff and bassit Jimmy Dixon, an evidently proud Yorkshireman, were happy to talk to the crowd. We found out where Neff likes to drink (the Blue Bell), and that they were going to be visiting Jorvik before they left town.

Their most well known song is the pulsating Default which went down a treat, the crowd singing along to every word. By the time they finished their set with Wor, a nod to Spaghetti Westerns, the crowd did not want the night to end.

The praise they are receiving from all quarters is fully justified – they are a brilliantly unique band, who combine experimental rock with energetic live performances that leave the audience members with aching feet and sore throats.
