Stars from RuPaul's Drag Race came to Nottingham - and it was unbelievably fabulous.

It was the first night of an extensive UK tour celebrating the tenth anniversary of their hit record and so the first half of the show featured The Trick To Life played in full. Īlmost exactly a decade since I saw the band play at the very same venue, they returned to the Bodega and, pleasingly, can still sell out the place. The View, Kaiser Chiefs, Hard-Fi, Editors and The Enemy had all topped the album charts in 2007 before The Hoosiers took their brand of oddpop to number one with their debut album The Trick To Life. However, fans of 'Worried About Ray' need fear not, for 'Worst Case Scenario', the somewhat sinister 'Killer', and title track 'The Trick To Life', punctuate the album's uncompromising landscape with literally tens of minutes of rich and compelling music, which will have you bouncing around your bedroom and/or living room.Ten years ago, you couldn't move in record shops for indie-inflected pop music.

On tracks like 'Run Rabbit Run' and 'A Sadness Runs Through Him', Irwin's soaring, jaw-droppingly powerful vocals lead listeners through a maze of melodic mayhem, with influences ranging from The Cure through to Supertramp, laced with some early Genesis (the bible verse not the band). An album filled with upbeat treats, as well as glimpses of a deeper, darker edge. The single will be closely followed by the band's debut, The Trick To Life. Underpinning the track, is a pulsing lyrical majesty that will open up the fairytale album within which Ray and Mr A cohabit. It is one of those songs that will have you singing your head off by the end without even realising. `Goodbye Mr A' is set for release 8th of October and is a beast of a track set to takeover the airways, with melodic brass and riffs that will literally rip your face off before stapling it back on with choral harmonies more suited to late seventies Uberpop. In the words of the pub landlord, shame on you!įollowing hot on the heels of `Worried About Ray', one of the undisputed soundtracks of the short lived summer (8 consecutive weeks top 10 says it all) comes the next floor filling single from the UK's pioneers of `oddpop', The Hoosiers. No-one else remotely interested/intrigued?

Other Hoosiers song titles include 'Worst case scenario' and 'A sadness runs through him', and the album's called 'The trick to life'.
